ALTAR BOYZ – The Self-Anointed
Apostles of Pop. Each one a shining
star…together a constellation.
The longest running, most critically
acclaimed off-Broadway musical in years,
ALTAR BOYZ will bring their soul saving
tour to Melbourne with an all-Australian
heavenly sent cast.
ALTAR BOYZ is a musical comedy satire
about a fictitious Christian boy-band on
the last night of their national "Raise the
Praise" tour. The Boyz are five ultratalented
heartthrobs from Wodonga: lead
singer Matthew (leader of the pack with
the heart of a saint), Mark (a sensitive
young man with a deep faith in Cher),
A musical for
the entire family,
ALTAR BOYZ is
90 minutes of
pure fun and the winner of the 2005 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best
Off-Broadway Musical. It was nominated for seven Drama Desk Awards
in the same year and honoured with two Drama League Awards.
ALTAR BOYZ is now in its 4th record breaking year in New York
Tha amazingly talented young cast includes Cameron MacDonald
(Matthew), Dion Bilios (Mark), Tim Maddren (Luke), Jeremy Brennan
(Juan), and Andrew Koblar (Abraham).
Luke (a bad-boy with a strong "interest" in communion wine), Juan (a orphan
from the other side of the tracks, has hip swiveling moves that make the girls
go wild), and Abraham (a nice Jewish homeboy from the temple down the
street, who's not quite sure how he ended up here...though his mother would
sure like to know).
As they perform their signature hits featuring lyrics like "Girl, you make me
wanna wait" and "Jesus called me on my cell phone," soul-wrenching secrets
come tumbling out with hilarious results. The Boyz begin to question their faith
in each other, and learn if fate is really holding them together, or if it's just their
extra-firm hair gel! With their sweet harmonies, sinfully spectacular dancing
and an unnerving sense of fashion, these ALTAR BOYZ are destined to rock
the masses!
