Eric and his pals are preparing to bare all as rehearsals start this month for Eric’s Full Monty.
David Graham Productions bring back this hilarious show from Monday 25 November to Tuesday 10 December, following unprecedented demand from New Vic audiences as they voted for the top ‘Eric’ production they’d like to see return.
Outstripping votes for all the other Eric shows combined, Eric’s Full Monty was the audience’s top choice to make a comeback in 2024, the 25th anniversary year of the much-loved character.
First staged in summer 2021, Eric’s Full Monty sees Eric finally settling down! He’s moved in with Bev and everything is going as well as can be expected in the land of domestic bliss. Everything except money that is. Eric’s starting to worry, but Bev’s got a plan and starts working on their own version of The Chippendales. Eric dismisses it as nonsense and wants nothing to do with it but when Bev surrounds herself with four hunky young men and he’s left out he changes his mind and wants in. When the night comes though, will Eric and the boys be brave enough to do… the ‘full monty’? Or will they leave their hats on?
Packed with fabulous tunes from the 60s and beyond, as well as some Hot Stuff to make you smile, this is a show truly not to be missed!
David Graham, producer and star of the ‘Eric’ shows, said: “I had first suggested Eric’s Full Monty as a title in 2019 in a meeting with two senior members of management at the New Vic Theatre. They both approved the idea (rather too enthusiastically, I thought!) and we planned to make it the summer show of 2020. However, covid-19 had other ideas and it kept getting pushed forward until we were finally able to stage it in 2021. Whilst I was delighted to see it happen then, my delight is now ten-fold as we get the opportunity to bring it back to the stage as part of the 25th anniversary year of the Eric shows, particularly as it was voted the production most people would like to see repeated. It will be a perfect end to what has been a great year with three Eric productions (including the 25th Anniversary concerts) and the usual amazing reaction from our loyal audience who make every visit to the New Vic for us an absolute joy.”
