The tour is being launched as the hit film celebrates its 30th anniversary.
It has been announced that to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film The Full Monty, Simon Beaufoy’s stage adaptation of his Oscar winning film will head on tour, opening in Sheffield on the 15th January 2027.
After its run in Sheffield, the show will then visit: Cardiff, Nottingham, Aylesbury, Woking, Bradford, Brighton, Southampton, Hull, Buxton, Manchester, Belfast, Truro, Southend, Cheltenham, Dartford, Wimbledon, Norwich, Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leicester and York.
There are no heroes in Simon Beaufoy’s heartfelt play, just a group of lads trying to regain their dignity and pride. This fast and funny play is still very much of our time, as again we are hit by a cost of living crisis. Gaz and his mates are down on their luck and feel they have been thrown on the scrap heap, but they are determined to fight back and bare a little more than they ever thought they would have to.
While casting has yet to be announced, the creative team includes: direction by Michael Gyngell, choreography and intimacy direction by Ian West, Set and Costume Design is by Jasmine Swann, Lighting Design by Andrew Exeter and Sound Design by Chris Whybrow. The Casting Director is Marc Frankum.
Talking about the news, Simon Beaufoy said: “A lot has changed in Britain since The Full Monty appeared thirty years ago. What hasn’t changed is our need for laughter, compassion and dignity. I’m so delighted the Monty Men are back on the road with all their flaws, jokes and wobbly bits, bringing a bit of much-needed joy to audiences once again.”
