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.

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.

Starring Danny Hatchard (Eastenders, Ridley Road, Our Girl, Scrooge) as Gaz, Jake Quickenden (Footloose, Hair, X Factor, Dancing on Ice) as Guy and Bill Ward (Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) as Gerald, with Neil Hurst (Fat Friends the Musical, All Creatures Great and Small, Coronation Street) as Dave, Ben Onwukwe (The Shawshank Redemption, Professor T, Marcella) as Horse and Nicholas Prasad (Around the World in 80 days, The Comedy of Errors, Doctors) as Lomper.

What a great show this is! It has it all, funny, heartwarming, tear jerking and all set to a brilliant 80’s soundtrack!

If you loved the film, you will adore this live version, and if you’ve never seen the film, be prepared to fall in love with the characters!

This show demonstrates a clever use of scenery shifting which was simple but completely effective. Curve is such an innovative theatre, it’s just made for productions like this.

Every member of the cast shone, and what really came across was everybody had a genuine bond with each other which completely endeared them to the audience. The audience was mainly made up of groups of ladies having a brilliant girls night out and it just enhanced what was already such a joyous experience.

The Full Monty is at Curve Leicester until Saturday. Tickets are available from curveonline.co.uk
