"AN ENERGETIC CROWD-PLEASER!" - David Rooney, VARIETY
"THANK HEAVEN FOR ALTAR BOYZ! TOTALLY HILARIOUS! It keeps you laughing all evening long. If laughter is a form of salvation, my soul is clean!"
- Howard Kissel, DAILY NEWS
Altar Boyz first premiered in 2004 at the New York Musical Theatre Festival. In the spring of 2005, it transferred to off-Broadway's New World Stages for a five year run. Altar Boyz won the 2005 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical and was nominated for seven Drama Desk Awards, including Best Music, Best Lyrics, Best Book and Best Musical.
Altar Boyz is high-octane entertainment that tells the holy inspiring story of five small-town boys – Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham – trying to save the world one screaming fan at a time.
This struggling Christian boy band from Greenville, Ohio, is on the last night of their “Raise the Praise” U.S tour and determined to make the big time. When fate takes them to New York, do the Boyz take a bite out of the forbidden apple?
