Gary Lucy leads new Full Monty cast, tour starts September
Gary Lucy will lead the new cast of The Full Monty when it embarks on a new UK tour in September.
Lucy will be joined in the cast by Andrew Dunn, Louis Emerick, Rupert Hill, Martin Miller and Bobby Schofield.
The play, adapted by original screenwriter Simon Beaufoy from the hit 1997 film, centres on a group of unemployed Sheffield steelworkers who form a strip group.
It premiered in Sheffield last year and transferred to the West End in February, but closed the following month.
Gary Lucy, who will play Gaz (the role created on screen by Robert Carlyle) is best known for TV credits including EastEnders, Footballer's Wives and Hollyoaks.
The new tour, which is directed by Roger Haines (The Go-Between), opens at the Manchester Opera House on 15 September 2014 (previews from Thursday 11 September) before embarking on a 32-week tour.
