Roundabout Theatre Company has announced its 2026/27 Broadway season, featuring The Full Monty, The Imaginary Invalid, and Mix and Master, with additional productions to be announced.
The Full Monty, a film about a group of unemployed men who form a striptease group, has been adapted into an eight-episode TV series on FX and Hulu. The series, which reunites the original cast, shifts its focus away from stripping and instead explores the high cost of living, the decline of the National Health Service, and the failing education system in contemporary Britain. The show balances humor and tragedy while addressing important issues, and some cast members say they would be interested in returning for another season.
The Full Monty, a feel-good British film released in 1997, has been adapted into an eight-part TV series premiering on FX and Hulu. The show reunites the original cast, including Robert Carlyle and Mark Addy, and is set 25 years later in Sheffield, England, during another period of austerity and economic downturn. Co-written by Simon Beaufoy, the series explores issues such as the N.H.S., Britain’s public health care service, the care system, education, and identity issues. The show balances politics with humor and addresses ageism.
