ReVision Theatre bares all when The Full Monty opens August 12 at the historic Carousel House on the Boardwalk at 700 Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park.

The musical is based on the Oscar Nominated film, The Full Monty, adapted to the stage by Terrance McNally with Music and Lyrics by
David Yazbek. The story revolves around unemployed steel workers frustrated with life, women, and the grim opportunities of work. When their fate leads them towards stripping to bring in much needed cash, they decide that regardless of looks or ability they are going to be the best male strippers anyone has ever seen. In the process they find renewed self-esteem, the importance of friendship and the ability to have fun.
The Full Monty will be directed by one of the current Producing Artistic Directors of ReVision Theatre, David E. Leidholdt, choreographed by
Connor Gallagher, and music directed by Andy Hertz. The show will star Scott Gutherie (Jerry), Adam Kern (Dave), Mark Weekes (Horse), Andy R. Jobe (Malcolm), Jonathan Gregg (Ethan), Mark Gerard (Harold),
Katherine Pecevich (Vicki), and Jacqueline Grabois (Georgie). Broadway's
Jane Strauss (Oliver!) steps into the role of Jeanette. The cast also will include Judah Gavra, Andrew Newsome, Jake Cameron, Erin Evers, Bob Angelini, Raymond Reehill, Darci Bender, Deidra Grace, Sarah Cooney, & Spiro Galiatsatos. Several actors are making a return appearance to the ReVision Theatre stage.
Katherine Pecevich was last seen playing the lead character in ReVision's Scrooge in Rouge. Judah Gavra played one of the Kings in the spring production of Kingdom. Both Spiro Galiatsatos and Deidra Grace were in last season's production of Hair.
