School Of Rock (2015, Broadway)
Based on the 2003 Jack Black film of the same name, with music by Sir Andrew-Lloyd Webber.

The Wedding Singer (2006, Broadway)

The Full Monty (2000, Broadway)
This adaptation shifts the action of the 1997 film of the same name from Sheffield, England to Buffalo, New York, but keeps the heart of this story about a group of unemployed steel workers who become strippers to reclaim their manhood (and to make money) by going the Full Monty at a local club.Best song: 'You Rule My World'
'The Full Monty' plays Stirling Community Theatre 29 April – 14 May.
