The Full Monty is coming to Liverpool Empire next week
10 months ago
25 years on from the smash hit film, and following the recent success of the Disney+ spin-off series, Simon Beaufoy’s The Full Monty arrives at Liverpool Empire Theatre following fantastic reviews from around the country.
The Full Monty stops at the Liverpool Empire next week and audiences can expect a ride of difficulties, laughs and heartbreak.
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.
“Is there a more iconic working class comedy than The Full Monty? I’d argue not,” says actor Danny Hatchard (Eastenders).
“Tackling important subjects whilst adding a sprinkle of nostalgia and a dash of humour takes the audience on a two-hour emotional rollercoaster filled with tears and belly laughter.”
The previously announced cast include Danny Hatchard as Gaz, Jake Quickenden as Guy, Bill Ward as Gerald, Neil Hurst as Dave, Ben Onwukwe as Horse and Nicholas Prasad as Lomper, alongside Oliver Joseph Brooke, Katy Dean, Laura Matthews, Danny Mellor, Adam Porter Smith, Suzanne Procter, Alice Schofield, and Leyon Stolz-Hunter.
The young actors playing the role of Nathan on tour will be Cass Dempsey, Theo Hills, Rowan Poulton and Jack Wisniewski.
As in the 1997 smash hit film, this brand-new production is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, laughs and heartbreak. Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the film on a major national tour.
Book now to relive the music of the 90’s and have a great night out in the company of our group of lads as they work to put on the show of their lives.
