The Full Monty

This blockbuster musical, with memory-grabbing melodies and outlandish lyrics, deals with several unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo who come up with a bold way to makesome quick cash — become strippers. In the process, they find renewed self-esteem, the importance of friendship, and the ability to have fun. There is great heart to this show. The ultimate theme expressed, about taking charge of one’s life, is a great lesson for all of us.
