THE FULL MONTY * Feb. 25 - March 19 * 8PM
 Click here for rehearsal photos from The Full Monty! The Waterfront Playhouse presents the Broadway smash-hit musical "The Full Monty," running February 25 to March 19. Directed by artistic director, Danny Weathers, with musical direction by Michael Fauss and choreography by Penny Leto, the production features a superb cast of twenty and a five piece band. It's sponsored by "Conch Color" with the opening night party sponsored by Nikki McCausland and Bill Bradford. The 70th season sponsors are Comcast, Digital Island Media and El Mason de Pepe. "The Full Monty" is set in Buffalo, New York where the local steel mill has just folded. Buddies Jerry and Dave have been laid off, struggling to survive and anxious about their future. After seeing the wildly enthusiastic reactions of their wives and girlfriends to a Chippendale's style troupe, Jerry comes up with the idea of doing a one-night performance to make some quick money. He hires four other unemployed factory workers for the act, and he names their troupe, "Hot Metal." Unfortunately, the initial rehearsals are anything but hot.To boost ticket sales, Jerry announces they will outdo the Chippendale's and go "the full monty." But will they really go through with it? "The Full Monty" sizzles with heat and heart. As the guys work through their fears and self-consciousness, they discover renewed self-esteem, the importance of friendship and the ability to have fun. Their journey is hilarious, poignant and ultimately triumphant as they face that ultimate moment of revelation. "The Full Monty" took Broadway by storm, running for over 800 performances and was nominated for 10 Tony Awards. The hilarious and touching book is by Terrence McNally (a part-time resident of Key West) and features a toe-tapping score with witty lyrics by David Yazbek. The New York Times called the 2009 production, "Exhilarating...sweet and lively. The timing couldn't be more apt." "The Full Monty" features an impressive cast of Key West favorites and new faces. Playing the six men of "Hot Metal" are Michael McCabe (Jerry), David Black (Dave), Joe McMurray (Harold), Eric Cole (Ethan) and guest actors, Kennedy Pugh (Horse) and Marc Crow (Malcolm). Robin Deck has returned to Key West to play Jeanette, the guy's hilariously salty piano player. Playing the wives and girlfriends are Laurie Breakwell (Vicki), Traci (Reynolds), Mary Falconer (Pam), Nulita Loder (Estelle), Amy Pesola (Susan) and Johanna Hardardottir (Joanie). Cannon Starnes will play the professional stripper, Keno, a role he played in the National Tour. Jerry and Pam's son is played by Key West students Harley Douvier and Brock Guzman, who will alternate performances. Playing a multiple line-up of characters will be Justine Ahearn, Marshall Cochrane, Victor Lopez and Bill Rivera. The orchestra members are Michael Fauss (musical director and keyboards), David Troy Francis (keyboards), Chris Burchard (electric guitar), Jim Wist (bass) and Max Zemanovic (drums/percussion). The set will be by the Waterfront's set designer Michael Boyer, lighting design by Kim Hanson, costumes by Leigh Hooten, sound by Allen Gallant, props by Carmen Rodriguez and stage management by Lisa Alderdice.
