Broadway veterans Sebastian Arcelus, Craig Bennett, George Dvorsky, Bill English, Milton Craig Nealy, and Darren Ritchie head the cast of the North Shore Music Theater production of The Full Monty, which will run November 1-20 at the theater’s newly renovated home in Beverly, Massachussets. Directed and choreographed by Barry Ivan, the show will open officially on November 3.

The Full Monty has a book by Terrence McNally, based on the 1997 film of the same name, and a score by David Yazbek. The musical tells the story of six unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, New York who perform a strip show to raise money. The show opened on Broadway in October 2000, ran for nearly 800 performances, and received 10 Tony Award nominations.

The cast of the North Shore production also includes Beth Beyers, Susann Fletcher, Christian Johansen, Merle Louise, Deborah Tranelli, Michael Scott Harris, Charis Leos, Colleen Longshaw, Leo Nouhan, Dan Puck, Rommy Sandhu, Daniel Spiotta, Sarah Stiles, Jennifer Taylor, and Nick Wishnatzki. The design team consists of Dex Edwards (scenery), Susan Picinich (costumes), David Neville (lighting), John A. Stone (sound), and Gerard Kelly (hair and wigs).
