The Full Monty
20 Nov 2009  - 12 Dec 2009

The Full Monty
Levin Performing Arts Society is excited to offer you ‘The Full Monty’ as their ‘End of year show’, Friday 20th November – Saturday 12th December 2009.

The Full Monty is the ideal show for your build-up to the festive season. It caters for everyone, lots of laughs, great food, a fully stocked bar, everything you need for a wonderful night out.

The Full Monty started life as an amazingly successful movie in 1997, about a bunch of unemployed Average Bodied English blokes who redefined their virility by stripping down to the altogether, charming millions.

As a Broadway musical on the other hand, The Full Monty does something more daring and does it better too. This exhilarating show resets the story, transforming our blokes into out – of – work guys from Buffalo USA who loosen up for their macho bump and grind with feint and dunk American basketball moves. The show presents men and women exposing themselves to audience scrutiny while singing about that most American and indeed New Zealand of obsessions, Physical Imperfection!

The Full Monty is full of magical Musical Theatre moments with numbers like ‘Big Ass Rock’ a song in which three down on their luck men sing about how good it is to have a buddy who can helpfully smash your head in. And the James Brown hot riff on stereotype ‘Big Black Man’. The dialogue is fast, racy and often arch ‘If you want to be in show business you should be spayed first’ snaps salty seasoned trouper Jeanette, a new character who volunteers as ‘the boys’ rehearsal pianist. It is slangy, blunt, casual sometimes happily rude – Pop with Red Bloodied Wit.

The strong cast includes many favourites Darlene Mohekey, Stephanie Greenslade, Sera Devcich, Mark Peni, David and Melanie hands, John Schaeffer, Tahana Parker and talented new comers Sam Rewiri-Thorn, Blaze O’Sullivan, Jonny Marshall, Geena Oldham-Collins. A large production team supports the show most of whom appear on the stage.

The Full Monty’s excitement and exuberance is greatly enhanced by a 7 piece band under the baton of Baji Brown. The choreography is in the capable hands of Cathy Croad.

Director: Alex Gilchrist, Musical Director: Baji Brown, Choreographer: Cathy Croad

Tickets for the general public open on the 19th October 2009 at our booking office, The Gift Gallery, 214 Oxford Street Levin.
