"If you loved Avenue Q, you're going to love ALTAR BOYZ, too! ALTAR BOYZ had me laughing so hard I was screaming my head off and spitting into the hair of the poor lady sitting in front of me. I loved it so much (and I think the rest of the world will, too) that I put a chunk of my own money where my mouth is and invested in the show. I bet on it because it's one of the funniest, most tuneful, raucous, most enjoyable evenings I've ever spent in the theater. (Besides Avenue Q, of course.) I can't wait to see it again. Trust me - check it out - I know you'll have a great time."
- Jeff Marx (co-creator, Avenue Q)

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!

The critics are testifying:

" Every second hits the musical comedy bull's eye - we should thank a higher power for what we have here!"
-Theatermania.com

" A TRUE ORIGINAL, with a bright future, converting audiences to the power of G-O-D and P-O-P."
-Broadway.com

" A show on a holy crusade to provide big laughs and a real message underneath it all.
It's A DIVINE SUCCESS!" -Talkin' Broadway
