CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
All characters are average, working-class people of Buffalo, NY. All body types are welcome! Ages listed are “stage ages” and flexible. All Roles Available. This show demands a tremendously diverse cast of “real working-class people” in regard to age (10-70+), race, sexual-orientation, and body type. Real people trying to figure out life, marriage, divorce, parenthood, masculinity, job loss, financial problems, pride, jealousy and, in general, the human condition.
**JERRY LUKOWSKI: (Rock Tenor; 30-40+) An unemployed mill worker, good-looking, who definitely graduated from the School of Hard Knocks, but who still wants to do the best for his son. Jerry is a complex emotional character with serious heart and charisma, and genuine tenderness for his son – a regular guy.
NATHAN LUKOWSKI: (Non-Singing role; 12 years old) Jerry and Pam’s son. “12 years old going on forty” and wise beyond his years. Stoic and sincere, but ultimately very real as he deals with his parents’ custody battle. Nathan candidates must be at least 10 years old with some acting/stage experience. PARENTS: PLEASE READ ENTIRE SCRIPT of this musical BEFORE auditions. See Downloads/Links section below for entire script and Nathan’s Sides. Act Two Theatre intends on examining the use and/or editing of select adult language for its production, however there is mature language realistic to the working-class adults of Buffalo, NY. Parents should also be aware that the production contains male actors in limited clothing in several scenes.
PAM LUKOWSKI: (Alto/Mezzo Belt; 30-40+) Jerry’s ex-wife and Nathan’s mother; still cares enough for Jerry to want him to succeed and want him to be a good father, but practical enough to value and expect hard work
**DAVE BUKATINSKY: (Lyric Tenor; 30-45+) An unemployed steelworker. Jerry’s best friend and sidekick, he carries around a few too many extra pounds and is far too conscious of it.
GEORGIE BUKATINSKY: (High Alto/Mezzo Belt; 40-45+) Dave’s wife. Her exuberance opens the show and sets the place and mood perfectly! Hard-boiled and rough around the edges, but very committed—romantically and emotionally–to her love for her husband. Her reality comes in dealing with her hubby’s struggles and trying to hold her marriage together
**NOAH “HORSE” T. SIMMONS: (Baritone/Tenor; 40-60+) A retired African-American mill worker. Gentle demeanor. Seemingly, his “break-dancing” days are over until he breaks out. Iconic role with the show-stopper song, Big Black Man.
**MALCOM MACGREGOR: (High Tenor; 25-40+) The night watchman at the plant, which is the perfect job for a man who has been coddled by his mother, is shy, and has few friends–possibly because he’s not being honest, even with himself.
**ETHAN GIRARD: (High Baritone/Tenor; 25-40+) An unemployed steelworker. outgoing and excitable with an infectious enthusiasm–but not the strongest intellect.
**HAROLD NICHOLS: (High Baritone/Tenor; 35-55+) Dave’s and Jerry’s former supervisor, He is a doting, prideful husband who is determined to keep his wife be-decked in upper middle-class luxury – despite of 6 months of unemployment.
VICKI NICHOLS: (High Alto/Mezzo Belt; 30-55+) Harold’s wife. Charming and energetic, she loves the finer things in life. But, not more than she loves her husband. Classy, but easily one of the girls.
**BUDDY “KENO” WALSH: (Non-singing role; 21-35+) Handsome and experienced gay male stripper. Very much the performer. Stronger dancer/mover. With his ambitions, he won’t be a Chippendale-esque performer forever. May double in other roles. Body-type: Hunky Hunk or Lean-Mean Machine.
TEDDY SLAUGHTER: (Non-singing role; 35-55) Pam’s live-in boyfriend. The opposite of Jerry – clean-cut and comfortably well-off.
JEANNETTE BURMEISTER: (Low Alto/Belter; 55-80+) The crusty and worldly piano player. She has show-biz running through her blood and loves to tell, and sing, her stories about it. No piano skills required. (Think Betty White with the voice of Bea Arthur.)
ENSEMBLE ROLES: (All are Singing Roles-Various ages and vocal ranges.)
Reg Willoughby (union leader), Tony Giordano (club owner), Marty, Gary, Estelle Genovese (Jerry’s younger sexy girlfriend), Susan Hershey, Joanie Lish, Dolores & Molly (Malcolm’s aged ailing mother)

Show Description: Based on the hit film of the same name, The Full Monty, a ten-time Tony Award nominee, is filled with honest affection, engaging melodies and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show. While spying on their wives at a “Girls’ Night Out,” a group of unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo sees how much they enjoy watching male strippers. Jealous, out of work and feeling emasculated, the men come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash. In preparing, they find themselves extremely exposed; not merely physically but emotionally. As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness and prejudices, the men come to discover that they’re stronger as a group, and the strength that they find in each other gives them the individual courage to “let it go.” With a raucous mix of razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz, this heartwarming, upbeat comedy is a must see.
