Synopsis


Altar Boyz, a new musical comedy and critically-acclaimed hit of the New York Musical Theatre Festival, is the hilarious account of a struggling Christian boy-band (with one nice Jewish boy) looking for their big break in the Big Apple.

Hailed as "high-octane entertainment" (Talkin' Broadway), Altar Boyz tells the holy inspiring story of 5 small-town boys - Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham - trying to save the world one screaming fan at a time. Their pious pop act, including lyrics like "Girl You Make Me Wanna Wait" and "Jesus Called Me On My Cell Phone," worked wonders on the Ohio bingo-hall-and-pancake-breakfast circuit. But when fate brings them to New York, will the boyz take a bite out of the forbidden apple? With angelic voices, sinfully spectacular dancing and a touching story, Altar Boyz is destined to rock the masses of all denominations!

Winner of the 2005 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical.

Book by Kevin Del Aguila
Music and Lyrics by Gary Adler & Michael Patrick Walker
Conceived by Marc Kessler & Ken Davenport
Choreographed by Christopher Gattelli
Directed by Stafford Arima

Read what our TM Insiders had to say about Altar Boyz!

Review: Altar Boyz was a Fantastic Show by becknetta

I saw the Saturday 05/23/09 show at 2:00 pm - it was great. All five guys were very talented. Loved Mark in his gay way, not that there is anything wrong with it, he was so cute. This is a must see when you go to New York City.

Review: Two yes votes. by darwin.moore

My daughter is 16 and Im 48 and we both loved this show. Its 90 minutes, with no intermission. Short and sweet...and good. There are 5 performers and we had two understudies for our Saturday matinee. Who cares, they were still great. I loved the simplicity. Just 5 guys singing and dancing, and the energy just never dropped off. They had us from the outset, and we just couldnt keep those dumb smiles off our faces. I now see why this show has become one of those popular repeater shows. Matthew, Mark, Luke and Juan. If that offends you, stay away, because theres a lot more where that come from. But, if you like tongue-in-cheek humor, go, go, go.

Review: Outlandishly Fun!! by shay11226

It was hysterically funny and the singing is off the chain. These guys are very talented. Unfortunately, I missed the first 15 min of the show, so Ive got to go back and see it again! It is well worth it!!
