LOPs

A musical based on the well-known film, following the lives of six unemployed steelworkers struggling to keep themselves afloat after the shutdown of the local steel mill.

Following the arrival in town of the Chippendales (to much excitement from their wives and girlfriends), one of the men, Jerry, decides that this is the answer to all their money problems... a one-night-only strip show! Not only are the steelworkers ‘real men’, he suggests, but they will be offering something the Chippendales never will. The steelmen will go the full monty, stripping all the way! All Jerry has to do is convince Dave, Horse and the rest to join him in the endeavour…

As they prepare for the big night, they work through their fears, uncertainties and guilt to find new strength and form lifelong friendships – and the respect of families and friends. The show contains many brilliant and lively foot-tapping songs including: "Scrap", "A Women’s World", "The Goods" and "Let It Go".
