Paramount Theatre in downtown Aurora is ready to prove the naked truth – anything can be accomplished with the right mix of friends and courage – with its cheeky 2024-25 Broadway Series opener, The Full Monty.
Director, Jim Corti, and associate director, Creg Sclavi, fresh from their acclaimed production of Million Dollar Quartet at Paramount’s new Stolp Island Theatre, are teamed again to stage this side-splitting musical about blue-collar steelworkers from Buffalo, N. Y., who trade the unemployment grind for a different kind of grind.
The songs in this 10-time Tony Award nominee, including “You Rule My World” and “Breeze Off the River,” capture the spirit of the ’90s, creating a feel-good experience that challenges stereotypes and celebrates the triumph of the human spirit.
So throw any old thing on top of your birthday suit, and see why Paramount Theatre is the largest subscription theater in the U.S. previews of The Full Monty will start August 21. Press opening will be Friday, Aug. 30 at 8 p.m. and performances will run through October 6 at Paramount Theatre, 23 E. Galena Boulevard in downtown Aurora. Single tickets are $28 to $85.
But wait, sign up for a Broadway Series subscription for as little as $56, and you’ll get Paramount’s “Buy Two Shows, Get Two Shows Free” offer, along with the best seats available for four blockbuster musicals in 2024-25: The Full Monty, the regional premieres of Disney’s Frozen (October 30, 2024-January 19, 2025) and Waitress (February 12-March 30, 2025), culminating with a revival of Cats (April 30-June 15, 2025).
