The Full Monty Original Broadway Cast Rec.

A group of unemployed steelworking men frustrated with life, women, and work decide that regardless of looks, ability or anything else, they are going to be the best chippendale strippers Yorkshire has ever seen.

People might assume that The Full Monty wasn't that great since it didn't win a single Tony. Keep in mind that it lost to The Producers in each of the 10 categories it was nominated in.

The six steel workers must appear nude for one brief moment at the end of the show. There is some "frank language" and mature themes.

This is a high-energy, comedic show. Be sure to show off these qualities in your audition.

The music in The Full Monty is funk/rock-inspired contemporary. To choose an appropriate audition song, look at other shows with rock-style scores.
