ABOUT THE SHOW
Adapted by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan
Lyrics by Mel Brooks
Music by Mel Brooks and Blen Kelly
Directed by Patrick Crowley

The musical concerns two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop. Complications arise when the show unexpectedly turns out to be successful.. The humor of the show is accessible to a wide rang of audiences as it draws on ridiculous accents and caricatures.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Book by Terrence McNally; Music & Lyrics by David Yazbek

Seeing how much their wives enjoy watching male strippers during their “Girls’ Night Out,” unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, New York come up with a bold way to make some quick cash.  In the process, they find renewed self-esteem, the importance of friendship, and the ability to have fun.  There is great heart to The Full Monty, and the themes expressed about taking charge of one’s life and following one’s dreams are great lessons for  everyone.
