Full theatre allowed me to ignore money (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

replete

'full' is the definition.
('replete' can be a synonym of 'full')

'theatre allowed me to ignore money' is the wordplay.
'theatre' becomes 'rep' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'allowed' becomes 'let' (I've seen this before).
'to ignore' suggests deleting specific letters.
'money' becomes 'm' (abbreviation in economics).
'me' with 'm' taken away is 'e'.
'rep'+'let'+'e'='REPLETE'

(Other definitions for replete that I've seen before include "Chock-a-block" , "Full, satiated" , "Fully satisfied" , "Stuffed, gorged, sated" , "Full - pet leer (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
