For Immediate Release

Drop Everything for the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's Production of The Full Monty 

Jupiter, FL - (February 13, 2008) Following a successful three-week sold-out run of the hugely popular Smokey Joe's Café, The Full Monty comes roaring onto the Maltz Jupiter Theatre stage Tuesday, February 26 - March 16.

The Maltz Jupiter Theatre production will star Broadway legend Mimi Hines, who is best known for her break-out role in Funny Girl, immediately following Barbara Streisand and introduces Alexander Dreyfoos School of the Arts freshman Philip Labes making his professional theatrical debut. Directed by Alan Souza with choreography by Ron De Jesus and musical direction by the multiple Carbonell nominee Helen Gregory, this production will have the largest character driven casts ever presented on Maltz Jupiter Theatre stage.

The Full Monty, is based on the independent British film that was nominated for three major Academy® Awards in 1998. Tony-winning author Terrence McNally (Master Class) wrote the book with score and lyrics by David Yazbek (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels). The team decided to set the show in Buffalo, New York, which shares many of the same working class characteristics as England, where the movie was set.

The Full Monty opened in New York at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in 2000, where it subsequently played 770 performances in two years on Broadway and received 10 Tony® Award nominations.

Ben Brantley of The New York Times wrote, "The Full Monty is that rare crowd-pleaser that you don't have to apologize for liking. Memory-grabbing melodies, outlandish lyrics, delightful performers; even those who go expecting to sneer are likely to be surprised by the smiles that keep sneaking onto their faces".

Join six buddies, whose plan to get their lives back together requires them to triumph over their fears, their nerves and even their clothes! The Full Monty is a mix of razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz. This production contains adult subject matter with strong language and brief nudity.
