Check your ANXIETIES and INHIBITIONS at the door! THE FULL MONTY is the Americanized musical version of the hit movie: six unemployed Buffalo (NY) steel workers, low on cash, prospects, and self-esteem, decide to "LET IT GO" and put together a "Chippendales" act to earn some extra dough. We soon learn that they all have insecurities of one kind or another. As they prepare for the show at their local club, learning to dance, working through their fears and anxieties, they overcome their inner demons and find strength in their camaraderie. The Full Monty has it all … great heart, jazzy tunes, and a universal message about love on SO many levels. THE FULL MONTY earned multiple TONY Award nominations and Drama Desk Awards. The MONTY women are just as important to the theme as the men. We'll be looking for strong, sassy, sexy gals (no matter what your size or shape). They are the spring board (and backstory) for everything their men are doing. THE BIG QUESTION: Yes, the 6 principal male characters will do The Full Monty (after all, that's the name of the show) but in a deftly-executed blackout… In addition, characters will be spending several scenes in only their underwear. If you have ANY reservations about this aspect of the show, please DECIDE NOW! However, the theme is relationships and human connection on many levels: father-to-son; husband-to-wife; MONTY is a joyous celebration of dealing with # and overcoming # all the "Scrap" that life throws at you. I hope you enjoy your experience at the CLT auditions and will want to help us with the show, if not onstage, then behind the scenes!
