The Full Monty: Hit Musical Comedy From Ray of Light Theatre
- Full Price:
- $30.00
- Our Price:
- FREE - $15.00
In Terrence McNally's musical stage adaptation of the hit film The Full Monty, a group of frustrated, unemployed steelworkers decide to form a male striptease act to make money and improve their lives. These aren't your typical beefcakes, though, so what they create is the most unforgettable strip tease act Buffalo, NY has ever seen. Ray of Light Theatre isn't shy -- you will see it all in this touching, funny and crowd-pleasing musical. The Full Monty was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, while on Broadway. If you received an email about this event on May 21, 2012, you likely noticed that we listed two prices for this event -- both free tickets and $15 tickets. This was a mistake. We only had $15 tickets available at the time the email was sent. We apologize for the misprint and any inconvenience this may have caused you. Learn More

Terrific production. I'd highly recommend.Written on Jun 03 2011
Standout performances by Derrick Silva (an extremely unrepentant JWBooth), Joel Roster (a modern-day Bela Lugosi?) and Danny Cozart (the best melding of Scorcese characters I've seen). With a solid shoutout to Greg Sottolano (his Chas. Guiteau a brilliant blend of blindly optimistic and shatteringly bereft).
By the last "act", I was near tears - finding myself wondering if, half a century later, it will ever not be too soon.

For a small production on a tiny stage, this was a terrific musical. All the actors sang well and the tunes were catchy/witty. Stellar performances by the actors who played Charles Guiteau (dude who shot Garfield) and Squeaky Fromme.Written on Jun 05 2011

Solid cast with some exceptional singers. The orchestra overpowered a few of the weaker voices though. And while Assassins is not my favorite Sondheim musical by a long shot it was a very enjoyable show and the 90 minutes whizzed by.Written on Jun 24 2011

Description
Ray of Light Theatre, San Francisco’s inimitable non-profit musical theatre company, is pleased to bring Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins to the Bay Area. Bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the uttermost controversial musical ever written.
Part vaudeville extravaganza, part exposé and wholly electrifying, this most American of musicals (winner of five Tony® Awards) lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and, in an intense final scene, inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
Hugely resonant in today's celebrity-obsessed society, the story is peopled with desperate characters intent on making their mark.
