The Full Monty

I love the original film, which I probably saw 15 times during its theatrical run (wellll…I took a lot of people who hadn’t seen it yet.  To explain the 3-act structure).  It’s a story that could so easily have been dark and depressing (the following issues are woven through the script: unemployment, child custody, divorce, suicide, money problems).  But it wasn’t.  There was joy and laughter and a quick, easy camaraderie among the men involved.

And that last scene in the strip club?  If it’s possible to cry, laugh, and shriek at the same time: I did it.

Wow! I loved the original film and also the stage adaptation. I had no idea this was coming.

I remember having to rewind that last strip club scene to watch it again.

Well, let’s face it: it was the 1000-piece puzzle of strip club scenes 🤣
