Excitement is building in the UK theatre scene, as the initial casting has been announced for the 2027 UK tour of The Full Monty.
The classic film, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2027, was adapted for the stage by the original screenwriter Simon Beaufoy.
While further casting is still to be revealed, the initial announcement has revealed a cast already loaded with stars.
Familiar faces include Kevin Clifton (Strictly Come Dancing) as Gaz, Stewart Wright (Doc Martin) as Dave, James Gaddas (Coronation Street) as Gerald, Ben Onwukwe (Coronation Street) as Horse, Jon-Paul Bell (Hollyoaks) as Guy and Zrey Sholapurkar (Lark Rise to Candleford, The Watermill Theatre) as Lomper.
The tour will open in Sheffield, where the film is set, at the start of January 2027 and will be heading to nine UK cities before closing at York in July 2027.
Set in mid-'90s Sheffield, The Full Monty focuses on a group of friends just trying to get by during a cost-of-living crisis – something that's still relatable in current times.
Speaking about the 2027 tour, writer Simon Beaufoy said: "A lot has changed in Britain since The Full Monty appeared thirty years ago. What hasn’t changed is our need for laughter, compassion and dignity.
"I’m so delighted the Monty Men are back on the road with all their flaws, jokes and wobbly bits, bringing a bit of much-needed joy to audiences once again."
