 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. The Melbourne season officially opens at the Athenaeum Theatre on Wednesday 13th August 2008.
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 fi ve ultra-talented 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), 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!
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.
The dynamic young cast includes Cameron MacDonald (Matthew), Dion Bilios (Mark), Tim Maddren (Luke), Jeremy Brennan (Juan), and Andrew Koblar (Abraham).
Directed by Kate Gaul, musical direction by Robert Gavin and choreography by Anthony Ginandjar. With music and lyrics by Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker and book by Kevin Del Aguila.
