Ken Davenport and Robyn Goodman proudly announce that Altar Boyz, the acclaimed musical comedy at New World Stages which recently played its 1500th performance, will begin Wednesday evening performances on October 15th. The new schedule will be Monday, Wednesday through Friday at 8 pm, Saturday at 2 pm and 8 pm and Sunday at 3 pm and 7 pm.

Ravi Roth replaces Ryan Strand in the role of Abraham beginning October 15th as well. Ravi is beyond stoked to be joining the Boyz off-B’way after doing the show at Cincinnati Playhouse and St. Louis Rep. Regional credits include John in john and jen, Frank in Rocky Horror, Rick in Bat Boy, Wick in Seussical, Ethan in The Full Monty, and the Boston premiere of EDGES.  Ravi has a BFA from the Boston Conservatory and had the awesome opportunity to perform with the Boston Pops.

Altar Boyz, the acclaimed musical comedy, winner of the 2005 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical Off-Broadway, is the longest running new musical comedy to open in New York in years! Full of sharp parody, sinfully spectacular dancing, and irreverent humor, this spoof about a heavenly guy-group is adored by audiences and critics alike.  With an extraordinary mix of side-splitting songs “convincing enough to be played on MTV,” uncontrollable laughs and lighthearted fun, this award-winning and totally original new musical is “90 minutes of pure delight” that's suitable for all ages and will have “the whole family laughing and singing along.”  Altar Boyz recently completed its First National Tour. Altar Boyz enjoyed its Asian premiere in Seoul, South Korea and its European premiere in Budapest. Productions will be opening shortly in Sydney Australia and the Philippines.

Altar Boyz also features Michael Kadin Craig, Neil Haskell, Travis Nesbitt, Mauricio Perez and Ravi Roth and is directed by Stafford Arima and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli. Altar Boyz has music & lyrics by Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker with book by Kevin Del Aguila, based on a concept by Marc Kessler and Ken Davenport.

New World Stages is located at 340 West 50th Street, just west of Eighth Avenue. For more information, visit www.altarboyz.com or call 1 - 877- ABOYZ - 411.  For all the gossip on the BOYZ, visit www.altarholics.com
