Theatre Review: "The Full Monty" Unveiled in Huntsville
I just saw "The Full Monty!" My husband said it was "lively;" I thought it was funny and very entertaining. I was surprised when Broadway Theatre League had announced that "The Full Monty" was coming to Huntsville. After all, this is the South and the Bible Belt, no less. So, it was with a little trepidation that we went to see "The Full Monty"--not having any idea what to expect.
