This is the pay-off scene and the finale in Terrence McNally and David Yazbeck\u2019s musical <em>The Full Monty<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Full-Monty-TAP-800x600b.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-371960\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Full-Monty-TAP-800x600b.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Full-Monty-TAP-800x600b-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Full-Monty-TAP-800x600b-460x345.jpg 460w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Full-Monty-TAP-800x600b-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This show, with all its raw, funny, and very adult moments, is now playing in an engaging production by the Arlington Players (TAP) at the Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on a British film from 1997, McNally\u2019s script and Yazbeck\u2019s music and lyrics transport the story from an industrial town in England to an equally economically challenged Buffalo. The local factory has had massive layoffs, and the main characters have all fallen victim to the redundancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What follows is a story of a father clinging to his son amid a divorce, several marriages facing challenges, and the bottom line of how to make ends meet and financially play catch-up. The central character, Jerry, hatches a plan to get several of his co-workers together for a one-night-only, Chippendales-style evening of male stripping. But unlike the infamous male revue with chiseled bodies and poufy hair, Jerry and his odd array of real men would be warts and paunches, beer bellies, and all the dad bods anyone could wish for.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"368\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Full-Monty-TAP-800x1000-1-368x460.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-371996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Full-Monty-TAP-800x1000-1-368x460.jpg 368w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Full-Monty-TAP-800x1000-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Full-Monty-TAP-800x1000-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Full-Monty-TAP-800x1000-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">TOP: Blakeman Brophy, Apollo&nbsp;Yong, Chris Anderson, Preston Meche, and Tommie Adams; ABOVE: Janie Macklin.

Really. The journey of Jerry, Davie, Harold, Malcolm, Ethan, and Noah \u2014 nicknamed \u201cHorse\u201d \u2014 to their revealing opening night is not only amusing but ultimately heart-warming. These gents would do just about anything to save their marriages and lives and replenish their bank accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamely playing the sextet (see what I did there?) with aplomb are Sam Nystrom (Jerry), Chris Anderson (Dave), Blakeman Brophy (Harold), Preston Meche (Malcolm), Apollo Yong (Ethan), and Tommie Adams (\u201cHorse\u201d). Nystrom brings earnestness and a touch of snark to Jerry, but he nails the devoted and desperate dad to a T. Anderson, as Dave, who takes care of more housework since losing his job, plays up the dichotomy of a big lug of a guy who has lost his confidence. Brophy\u2019s Harold is the fussy worry-wort, and Meche emphasizes Malcolm\u2019s goofy charm. Yong\u2019s Ethan is a gangly mess who is also heralded for his \u2014 ahem \u2014 special feature that impresses the other would-be strippers. And as their final member (oh yes, I did that), Adams is the senior citizen Noah, with a bum hip but a funky vibe, who adds a bit of street cred to the group. (The truth about his nickname \u201cHorse\u201d is also eventually revealed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These gentlemen handle the musical duties well enough, with Nystrom\u2019s fatherly \u201cBreeze Off the River,\u201d Anderson and Brophy\u2019s \u201cYou Rule My World\u201d \u2014 about Davie\u2019s belly and Harold\u2019s high-spending spouse \u2014 and the surprisingly romantic \u201cYou Walk with Me,\u201d performed by Meche and Yong, among the highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matching and sometimes wiping the six strippers off the stage is the tour de force performance by Rachel Rabinovitz as the opinionated accompanist Jeannette. As played by Rabinovitz, with a stoop in her stature, salt in her quips, and acid from her tongue, Jeanette is quite a scene-stealer. Her musical number, \u201cJeannette\u2019s Showbiz Number,\u201d brought down the house and most likely does at every performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the wives, Cara Giambrone (Pam, Jerry\u2019s ex), Jolene Vettese (Dave\u2019s wife, Georgie), and Christine Tankersley (Harold\u2019s wife) provide grounding and serve as the voice of reason for their spouses, even if the guys stick to their butt-bearing mission. All the ladies take the stage with \u201cIt\u2019s a Woman\u2019s World\u201d and \u201cThe Goods\u201d and prove they are equal performers to the men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As adult-oriented as this show is \u2014 some language and the bits of nudity \u2014 the youngest performer also makes a strong impression. Maks Lopez as Jerry and Pam\u2019s son Nathan finds some sharp comedic timing in his scenes and provides Nystrom with a strong figure to work with as the depressed father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a>Director Michael Kharfen\u2019s adept touch and vision keep the production light and breezy. Iv\u00e1n D\u00e1vila and Anastasia Brunk, his collaborating choreographers, have provided dance moves that look organic and natural for the blue-collar world of Buffalo, as well as some hilarious exotic dancer-inspired moves for the guys as they prepare for their big night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And providing strong musical support from the pit, music director and main keyboardist Francine Krasowska and her orchestra crackle the spiffy, jazz riffs of Yazbeck\u2019s infectious score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TAP is very clear on their website and in all advertising about the content of this show: \u201cAdvisory Warning: Due to language and nudity, THE FULL MONTY is recommended for mature audiences.\u201d So plan accordingly. If you are old enough to appreciate some edgy humor and take in entertainment that shows some skin, give <em>The Full Monty<\/em> a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running Time: Approximately two hours and 30 minutes with one 15-minute intermission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thearlingtonplayers.org\/seasons\/75th-season\/full-monty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>The Full Monty\u2013The Broadway Musical<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong>plays through September 21, 2025, presented by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thearlingtonplayers.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Arlington Players<\/a>, performing at the Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre, at Jefferson Middle School, 125 South Old Glebe Road, Arlington, VA .
