Based on the hit film, The Full Monty features a score by David Yazbek and a book by Terrence McNally.

Jerry, a divorced father behind in his child-support, convinces the gang to become male strippers at a local club. The show opened on Broadway on October 26, 2000, and was nominated for 10 Tony Awards.
