SIX men with nothing to lose, except their pants, will be stripping off once more in The Full Monty at the Grand Opera House, York, for five performances only this autumn.

Director Robert Readman unzipped the British amateur premiere of the musical in July 2005 when Shipton Theatre Company sold out its Joseph Rowntree Theatre run.

The company has since metamorphosed into York Stage Musicals, who will take the show, complete with a new cast, to the larger-capacity Opera House from November 26 to 28 under Readman’s direction again.

Tickets for the 7.30pm evening performances and 2.30pm Saturday matinee are on sale on 0844 847 2322 or online at grandoperahouseyork.org.uk.
