Full MontyThe Full Monty, a stage version based on the film, comes to The Lowry in Salford next year ahead of London's West End.

Oscar winning writer Simon Beaufoy has adapted his smash-hit for the stage. This brand new production will have its world première at the Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield, in February 2013. The show will then tour to ten venues, including The Lowry, prior to London's West End.

This will be Simon's first work for the theatre. His screen credits include 127 Hours, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and Slumdog Millionaire which earned him an Oscar, Golden Globe and a BAFTA.

The Full Monty will also feature the songs from the film by Donna Summer, Rod Stewart, Hot Chocolate and Tom Jones.

The Full Monty is directed by Sheffield's Olivier Award winning Artistic Director Daniel Evans. Design is by Robert Jones, whose recent credits include Calendar Girls, The Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium and Much Ado About Nothing and sound design by Simon Baker.
