Stage Review: 'Full Monty' is full of racy fun

Post Gazette: "In my imagination, the CLO phones were buzzing yesterday, mostly with congratulations for Tuesday's ecstatically received opening of 'The Full Monty,' but some with complaints about nudity. But just what is it about the title that's so hard to understand?

Audience advisory 1: Beware of naked buttocks."

I just have one complaint about Full Monty...the lights! They were awful. The spot ops couldn't hold the spots still adn some of the cues were just bad. If one is going to use scrollers, but the colors tht will be sliding next to each other, going red to green but having to through yellow is not good. Also some of the cues were wierd and didn't make sense. It looked like someone was just trying to use all the gobos and special lights as they could. It was bad.
Besides the lighting problem, which pulled you out of the story a lot, the show was very good and I really enjoyed it.
