Milton Keynes theatre is playing host to The Full Monty this week and I was lucky enough to be one of the first people through the door! There was a buzzy feeling within the theatre and everyone could not wait for the show to get started.
The show began with a bang and quickly got into the various storylines which ran through the show along side each other, touching on issues we do still have in today's society that were also common problems back when the show was set, but of course they were made to be light and funny.
Cast members such as Gary Lucy, most famous for his stint on The Bill and Eastenders was the star of the show in my eyes. He was well rehearsed and took well to the role, like he'd been playing it for years!
My most favourite part was the end, but not because I wanted it to end! After an hour or so of watching a group of scruffy middle aged men try to dance around in their undies they finally conquered the routine and took to the stage with a hilarious and rather raunchy striptease which was enjoyed by everyone, including the small percentage of male spectators who had clearly been dragged along by their partners!
The Full Monty is definitely a show that I would go to see again and have recommended to my friends and family. A fun, feel good show which will have you all in stitches.
