Hi-5 Star Shaun Taylor-Corbett Heads to Altar Boyz in July

Hi-5's Shaun Taylor-Corbett will be Altar Boyz' next Juan. He will begin performances on July 3, one day after original star Ryan Duncan departs.

Taylor-Corbett is best known as one of the five hosts of the children's show Hi-5, which airs weekday mornings on The Learning Channel and Discovery Kids. His New York theatrical credits include R&J at the Looking Glass Theater and Stop Kiss at the Producer's Club. His other stage credits include the musical Funny Business at Los Angeles' Coronet Theatre in 2004 and Alfred Jarry's play Ubu Roi, which recently played in Los Angeles. Taylor-Corbett grew up around the theater—his mother, Lynne Taylor-Corbett, is a choregrapher and director best known for her Tony-nominated work on Swing!.

Altar Boyz, directed by Stafford Arima, will continue to star Jason Celaya, Zach Hanna, Andrew C. Call and Dennis Moench.
