Altar Boyz, the hilarious and touching new musical comedy about a Christian boy band, opened on Tuesday, March 1 at Dodger Stages to heavenly reviews. Afterwards, the company partied at Crobar in Chelsea. Here are the boyz in all their glory: (l-r) David Josefsberg, Tyler Maynard, Ryan Duncan, Andy Karl, and Scott Porter.
