Book by Kevin Del Aguila

Conceived by Marc Kessler and Ken Davenport
October 16 – November 16, 2007
On the last night of their “Raise the Praise” U.S. tour, the Altar Boyz are coming to Cincinnati to rock the masses of all denominations! Join Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham (he’s Jewish) as they attempt to save souls and raise spirits with their spectacular music, sensational dancing and uncanny ability to drop the funk in freaky five-part harmony. Sharing a message of tolerance, love and the power of good hair products, this is one boy band manufactured in heaven! A critically acclaimed hit in New York, where it’s still running, Altar Boyz won the 2005 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical.
“This sweet-natured spoof can lift the spirits of even the most jaded theatergoer. Praise be.” — New York Magazine
