ALTAR BOYZ
June 18 - August 1, 2009
Watch out 'N Sync, the Altar Boyz are coming to town! Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan, and Abraham-the gefilte fish out of water-can sing and dance with the best of them, and these heartthrobs want to praise the Lord with funk and rhyme. With lyrics like "Girl, you make me wanna wait" and "Jesus called me on my cell phone" this irreverent (but never mean-spirited) musical-comedy will wash your soul clean with laughter.

"Divine! A 90-minute tornado of tasty pop tunes and nifty moves" - New York Post
