The Theatrical version of one of England's most successful films of all time has arrived... The Full Monty!
In a series of musical numbers, a cast of virtual unknowns act out the story familiar to to the thousands who bought tickets for the film version.
The location has been changed from Sheffield to Buffalo in upstate New York, but the themes of the movie remain intact with emasculated out-of-work and out-of-shape men venting their angst in song.
Broadway veteran Terrence McNally who wrote the book for the musical said his adaptation is more than just a slavish copy of the story in the film.
He said there were "certain things that I remember from the movie that I didn't want to do again in the theatre, I wanted to find a new way of looking at the same story".
