They’re out of work... but not out of luck.​
In a post-industrial Buffalo, six laid-off steelworkers make an outrageous, last-ditch bargain: if they can’t earn a living the usual way, they’ll gamble on the one thing they still control, their own bodies. What begins as an unlikely strip act for quick cash becomes something far more revealing: a hard-won path back to self-respect, support for their families, and the kind of friendship that holds when pride falls away. Based on the cult-hit film and a ten-time Tony Award nominee, The Full Monty pairs razor-sharp humor with honest affection and an irresistible score, building to one of the most highly anticipated finales in musical theatre. As these men step into the spotlight, they learn that “baring it all” isn’t just literal. It’s emotional, too: a comic, awkward journey through shame, masculinity, and intimacy, toward a new sense of worth, together.

Sally Struthers at The Gateway
This production features Emmy Award-winning Sally Struthers, bringing star power, impeccable timing, and irresistible warmth to The Gateway stage. Her presence adds an extra layer of heart and hilarity to a show already packed with big laughs and bigger emotions.​ See a beloved television icon live, up close, in a blue-collar musical comedy that proves it is never too late to start over — or to surprise the people who think they know you best.​

The Full Monty at The Gateway Schedule

Performances run March 13 – April 12, 2026, with convenient evening and matinee options. Enjoy easy parking, drinks and snacks at concessions, and Broadway-caliber theatre just a short drive from home.​ Gather your friends for a girls’ or guys’ night out, plan a date night, or treat yourself to a feel-good musical that leaves you laughing, moved, and rooting for six ordinary guys who decide to go “the full monty.”
