The eighth day, God created a boy band so fly, even the Pope could get jiggy with it!! Join Mathew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham as they raise the roof and praise the Holy Spirit in this hilarious spoof of boy bands and the pop scene...

 Meet the pop/hip-hoppin' ALTAR BOYZ: Matthew (the leader), Mark (the..."sensitive" one), Luke (the "gangsta"), Juan (the "Latin lover") and Abraham (...he's Jewish...) as they give the final performance of their smash-hit world tour in Denver's very own Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret, saving souls one song as a time. With such heavenly hits as "Jesus Called Me on His Cell Phone" (The Calling), "Girl, You Make Me Wanna Wait" (Something About You), "We're Gonna Get the Hell Outta YOU" (Number 9:18), and MANY MORE, the ALTAR BOYZ are going to "Put It In You" (The Rhythm, that is!) With angelic voices, sinfully spectacular dancing and a touching story, ALTAR BOYZ is destined to rock the masses of all denominations! "Fo' rizzle!"

 Altar Boyz, the acclaimed musical comedy now in its fourth year at New World Stages, is the longest running new musical comedy to open in New York in years!
