But its website warns audiences: 'This production contains adult themes, depiction of suicide and partial nudity.'
It will be performed for a week in September at the Kings Theatre in Portsmouth.
And Toby Young, of the Free Speech Union, blasted: 'It's hard to imagine anyone who's bought a ticket to The Full Monty being triggered by partial nudity.
"What could they possibly think the title refers to other than male nudity?'
Theatre-goer Joe Gratton, 34, said: 'These trigger warnings are patronising to audience members.'
The award-winning film depicted six unemployed steelworkers in Sheffield who turn to stripping to make some cash.
Starring Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy and Tom Wilkinson, they end up doing a 'full monty' to Tom Jones's 'You Can Leave Your Hat On'.
It was one of the highest-grossing films of the 1990s, raking in £52million at the Box Office, and won four Oscar nominations.
The alert comes after British comedy classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail was slapped with warnings alerting fans to 'bad language' ahead of the film's 50th anniversary re-release.
Fans of Doctor Who and even the Three Little Pigs nursery rhyme have also been cautioned about 'discriminatory content'.

In the latest scandal to hit the flagship BBC show, The Sun on Sunday revealed that the BBC had been forced to launch an investigation using external lawyers to look into allegations of drug use. A celebrity claimed it was 'well known on the show that two stars took cocaine'. And one star allegedly said to another, about a third: 'Have you seen their pupils . . . they're off their face.' Last night a source said: 'The BBC is taking the allegations really seriously. "Bosses are aware of the two stars in question and have a duty of care to make sure they're OK. 'As per BBC policy, the option of specialised professional support is on the table and will be offered.' They added: 'While drug testing won't happen on the main show, bosses are considering bringing in random checks for the tour next year. 'The BBC needs to be sure nothing illegal is going on. 'It all depends on what the investigation finds.' A BBC source said: 'Welfare is paramount for bosses.'
