THE Full Monty is returning to the Mayflower Theatre for one week only from November 2 to 7 2015.

Gary Lucy will lead a cast at the Southampton theatre that includes Andrew Dunn, Louis Emerick, Rupert Hill, Martin Miller and Bobby Schofield.

In 1997, a British film about six out-of-work Sheffield steelworkers with nothing to lose took the world by storm, becoming one of the most successful British films ever made. Now, the boys are back, only this time, they really have to go The Full Monty…live on stage.

Simon Beaufoy, the Oscar- winning writer of the film, has gone all the way with this hilarious and heartfelt adaptation that’s getting standing ovations every night.

Gary Lucy (EastEnders, winner of Dancing on Ice, Footballer’s Wives, Hollyoaks, The Bill) is Gaz; Andrew Dunn (best known as Tony in Dinnerladies as well for his regular appearances playing Alistair Campbell on Bremner, Bird and Fortune; extensive stage credits include the original productions of John Godber’s Bouncers and Up’n’Under) is Gerald.

Louis Emerick (Mick Johnson in Brookside and PC Walsh in Last of the Summer Wine, a role he has played, on and off, for over 20 years) is Horse; Martin Miller (recent credits include Hitchcock in the New York production of The Lovesong of Alfred J Hitchcock) is Dave; Bobby Schofield, one of the most exciting young actors around, makes his stage debut as Lomper and Rupert Hill (Jamie Baldwin in Coronation Street) is Guy. The production also features the iconic songs from the film by Donna Summer, Hot Chocolate and Tom Jones.

This new production is directed by Jack Ryder and design is by Robert Jones.
