The squeaky-clean dream team of Altar Boyz will appear in person at Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble (corner of Broadway and West 66th St.) on Thursday, July 28th at 6 PM.

In addition to its numerous Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel, and Drama League nominations, Altar Boyz won the 2005 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best New Musical (Off-Broadway). "Armed with catchy melodies, divine moves and product in their hair, Altar Boyz is the acclaimed and hilarious, holy-inspiring story of five small-town boys...trying to save the world one screaming fan at a time. Altar Boyz is the new musical comedy where the apostles of pop bring their soul-soothing tour to your town, with their heavenly lyrics like 'Girl, You Make Me Wanna Wait,'" states a press article. Produced by Ken Davenport and Robyn Goodman, in association with Walt Grossman, Ruth Hendel, Sharon Karmazin, Matt Murphy and Mark Shacket, the show is currently playing at Dodger Stages, Stage 4 (340 W. 50th Street, just west of Eighth Avenue).
