Curt and I drove to Sonora to see The Full Monty on Friday night. This is a musical version based on the original movie. This version was set in Buffalo, NY as was evidenced by the gratuitous swearing and over-the-top penile humor. I really love that story, but didn't feel like the music was anything that really enhanced it. In fact, the music wasn't all that great in general. The appeal of the show was that it was more a strip show filled with jr. high comedy. And by "appeal" I of course mean the dumbing down of a tasteful storyline to appeal to middle class America. And not being one to disappoint, middle class America flocked to the auditorium fully prepared to hoot, holler and throw underwear at the stage. Despite the poor comparison to the film the musical is fun, just not the slice of art that I was hoping for.
