Altar Boyz is a musical comedy about a struggling Christian boy-band riding the wave of America's latest fascination with religion. Armed with catchy melodies, freaky moves and product in their hair, the self-anointed apostles of pop Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan... and Abraham, who is Jewish bring their soul-saving tour to New York City, where they will sing their hits, with lyrics including "Girl, You Make Me Wanna Wait" and "Jesus Called Me On My Cell Phone." Conceived by Marc Kessler and Ken Davenport, Altar Boyz has a score by Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker and a book by Kevin Del Aguila.

The new musical, directed by Stafford Arima and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli, was a popular hit when it ran for a limited number of performances at the 47th Street Theatre as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival. During that production, Marc Kudisch provided the voice of God, whose guidance helps the Altar Boyz come to be.

Altar Boyz will begin performances at Dodger Stages' Stage 4 on February 15 in preparation for a March 1 opening. Scott Porter, Ryan Duncan, David Josefsberg, Andy Karl and Tyler Maynard star.
