Altar Boyz to play Celebration Theatre
Celebration Theatre will open their 2009-2010 season with the musical comedy sensation, Altar Boyz, which will run July 8 – August 23. Patrick Pearson directs, with choreography by Ameenah Kaplan and Chris Bratten as musical director. The cast will include Robert Acinapura, Clifford Banagale, Jesse Bradley, Kelly Rice and Jake Wesley Stewart.
Winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical Off-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!
