Going the Full Monty
9:34am Friday 11th July 2008
It's hot stuff as Ilkley-based theatre group Upstagers present saucy show The Full Monty next week.
The action of the musical at Bradford Alhambra centres on a group of unemployed men who become strippers.
But there are also women in the cast -- among them Keighley's Claire Scott-Grice who runs Keighley salon The Beauty Rooms.
Taking a principal role is former Riddlesden woman Nicola Brook, pictured, who regularly plays lead roles in Bingley and Leeds.
Upstagers is celebrating its 21st anniversary with the show, adapted from the hit 1997 film.
It's about six jobless steel workers who devise a plan to get their lives back together, making money and regaining their dignity.
The story was transferred from Sheffield to Buffalo in America for the stage version.
The Full monty runs at the Alhambra from Wednesday to Saturday. Phone 01274 432000.
