Jealous, out of work and feeling emasculated, the men come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash. In preparing, they find themselves extremely exposed; not merely physically but emotionally. As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness and prejudices, the men come to discover that they're stronger as a group, and the strength that they find in each other gives them the individual courage to "let it go." Based on the cult hit film of the same name, The Full Monty, a ten-time Tony Award nominee, is filled with honest affection, engaging melodies and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show. </span></div><h2 style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><span mce_style="font-size: 150%;" style=""><span mce_style="text-decoration: underline;" style="">Character Breakdown </span> </span></h2><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;" style=""><em style=""><br></em></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><em style=""><span style="font-size: 8pt;" mce_style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong style="">** </strong>Monty Men:<strong style=""> </strong>If you are auditioning for any one of these 6 roles, or Keno, you need to be very comfortable with your body; enough to perform on stage in your underwear and eventually a g-string.
