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 production is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, laughs and heartbreak. 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 Kevin Clifton (Strictly Come Dancing, Priscilla Queen of the Desert UK & Ireland Tour 2026) as Gaz, Stewart Wright (Doc Martin, The Upstart Crow – Apollo Theatre) as Dave, James Gaddas (Coronation Street, The Rocky Horror Picture Show UK Tour) as Gerald, Ben Onwukwe (The Full Monty UK Tour 2024, The Shawshank Redemption UK Tour) as Horse, Jon-Paul Bell (Hollyoaks, Masters of Air) as Guy and Zrey Sholapurkar (Lark Rise to Candleford – The Watermill Theatre, The History Boys UK Tour) as Lomper.

The Full Monty at New Wimbledon Theatre | Review
By Alan Fitter
At times it was like an adult panto with the audience calling out to the actors, knowing winks from the cast to the audience and lots of noise but in truth, everyone seemed to be having a ball – both on and off the stage.
As for the money shot, if you do go expecting to see the full monty, it’s literally all over in a flash!
