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. It is the final night of their whirlwind tour and it's hysterical.
This was really adorable. High energy and fun. This is a show that, again, garners many repeat audience members which adds to the infectious joy in the theater. The night we went we got several understudies which normally I could care less about, but one of the main reasons we chose to finally see this was to see Neil Haskell, runner up from LAST summer's So You Think You Can Dance.
While I am disappointed to NOT have seen him, I doubt I would go back JUST to see him. I suppose I'll have to wait for his next stage role (and as a side note: MTV's American Mall did NOT cut it.)One thing I really LOVED about this show: it HAS fun with Christianity without making fun of it. A very tricky proposition indeed. Indeed, I feel it really embraces the spirituality that draws so many to whatever religion they feel passionate about. (By the way, one of the characters is even Jewish.)
I reccommend this if you are looking for a fun night out!
