"Adapted from the screenplay by four-time Tony Award-winner Terrence McNally, and with an award-winning original score by David Yazbek, The Full Monty is a lively and poignant story that captivated Broadway audiences and critics alike. It tells the story of six unemployed, out-of-shape steel-mill workers from Buffalo, New York, who need to pick up some extra cash." "After seeing the popularity of a male stripper among the local women, the men decide to put on a strip show of their own. Their gimmick is simple: they will go the full monty - strip completely naked on stage. This plan forces the men to come to terms with their own fears of inadequacy, both physically and as providers for their families."--BOOK JACKET
