Peppermint Creek Presents Altar Boyz
Altar Boyz with book by Kevin Del Aguila
Music and Lyrics by Gary Adler & Michael Patrick Walker
Directed by Chad Badgero
Jan. 28 – 31 & Feb. 4 – 6, 2010
ALTAR BOYZ is a foot-stomping, rafter-raising, musical comedy about a fictitious Christian boy-band on the last night of their national “Raise the Praise” tour. The Boyz are five all-singing, all-dancing heartthrobs from Ohio: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham. With their tight harmonies and spectacular choreography, the ALTAR BOYZ will audiences of any musical genre! As they perform their signature hits such as “Rhythm In Me,“ “The Calling,“ and “I Believe,“ the Boyz question their loyalty to each other and ask whether or not faith is really holding them together. They finally deliver a message of unity, that “there is no star as bright as its constellation, no harmony in a single voice.“
