Cape Town – There is no better way to celebrate “woman power” this Women’s Day, than by getting a group together and going along to the Artscape Opera House to watch the show that has Cape Town a-buzz with excitement; “The Full Monty – The Broadway Musical”!

A special discount of 25% has been organized for ONE SHOW ONLY – Women’s Day on Saturday, 9th August 2008 at the 14h00 performance, valid for group bookings of 10 people or more.

This discount is not restricted to women only, but rather to any members of the public who wish to get a group together and party the afternoon away, rather than watch the rugby on TV! The discount is valid for all ticket prices across the board, but needs to have a minimum booking of 10 people or more when making the booking.

Come on ladies….have that ladies’ day out with your group of friends you’ve been talking about for ages….but just haven’t gotten around to organizing…. What better way to spend an afternoon than watching “The Full Monty!”

Bookings for this discounted offer can only be made through Artscape-Dial-A-Seat on 021 421 7695 or by purchasing tickets personally at the Artscape Box Office. Seating is limited and subject to availability, so be sure to DROP EVERYTHING AND BOOK NOW!

Ten days into the Cape Town season of “The Full Monty”, audiences are responding enthusiastically to the “Daredevil Six” – a nickname – which has now stuck like glue - given by a member of the Cape Town media to the 6 male leads who dare to “go the Full Monty” in the show, and the “The Full Monty” has fast become the talk of the town in this winter theatre season.

The show continues to enjoy great responses and positive reviews from local media, including:

”….a new musical that crackles with freshness and sparkles like a polished diamond.. Brimming with a delightful and wicked sense of humour, it is sexy and naughty, perfectly balanced with poignant dramatic moments and touching emotional elements”

- DD, The Writing Studio

“…The Full Monty is a thoroughly enjoyable night out that is impossible to walk out of without a smile stretching across your face…”
- ZH, Cape Argus Tonight

“..The production features the top-class experience of SA’s best….A fantastic performance by the cast as well as by the backstage crew for putting together a perfect package that is sure to keep all eyes glued to the stage – especially the women on that last scene…”

- Sindy, Biz Community

“…If there are six guys that everyone will be talking about, it’s the six daredevils of The Full Monty”

DD – News24,com

Set in Buffalo, New York, THE FULL MONTY tells the endearing story of six average guys of odd shapes, various ages and very different backgrounds out to earn some respect and a few dollars by stripping as a last way out. When a local male strip show is quite a hit with the town’s ladies, these cash strapped and unemployed steelworkers, a security guard and a has-been disco dancer, figure they can cash in big time if they go “the Full Monty”. If they can pull it off is quite another matter!

The highly entertaining show promises an evening of vibrant musical theatre, genuine humour and exposure to a variety of hilarious and vivacious songs ranging from big band Broadway to Rock and all the way back again. Brilliant ballads, some hip-swinging Latin, a pants-dropping finale and maybe one life-changing moment will certainly put a smile on everyone’s face, if not charm your pants off! After all, it’s not called The Half Monty…

With just 10 days left for Cape Town audiences to enjoy this internationally renowned musical, be sure to book your tickets now! “The Full Monty – The Broadway Musical” finishes its season in Cape Town on Sunday 17th August before transferring to Johannesburg, where it will be performing from 12 September – 12 October.

Pensioners and Students can enjoy a 50% discount on ALL performances of “THE FULL MONTY” when purchasing tickets for the show directly from the Artscape Box office one hour prior to show time. (Pre bookings cannot be made at this discounted rate)

I went to see the show on Tuesday night and wow, what a show. This is definitely not a low budget musical, it seems that they have spared no expense on the show. Each scene has it own very realistic set. 
 
The cast are all top class performers. And guys, you will not feel left out because the ladies are also extremely hot and ladies, you know what you're coming for. 
 
The show is very long though, including a 20 minute (or so) interval, the show runs for 3 hours. 
 
The music for the show is all live, performed by some of SA's top musicians with all but the horn section coming down from Joburg. The show is worth seeing for the music alone. 
 
If you like musicals, you will love The Full Monty!
