Adam Fleming Joins 'Altar Boyz' Chicago Dec.13-23

Adam Fleming, recently seen as "Boq" in the Chicago production of Wicked, joins the cast of Altar Boyz, for limited performances, December 13 - 23 only.  Altar Boyz is currently playing at Drury Lane Water Tower Place, 175 E. Chestnut Street in Chikcago, through March 2, 2008.

Fleming, who just finished a stint as "Luke" in the St. Louis and Cincinnati productions of Altar Boyz, will alternate the role with current cast member Tyler McGee.  The Chicago company of Altar Boyz also includes Devin DeSantis (Matthew), Brian Crum (Mark), Adam Zelasko (Juan) and Nick Vernia (Abraham).

Armed with catchy melodies, divine moves and gobs of hair product, Altar Boyz is a hilarious musical comedy about five small-town boys trying to save the world one screaming fan at a time.  Presented as a concert in real-time, Altar Boyz sweetly satirizes the phenomenon of boy bands, the popularity of Christian-themed music, and excessive product placement in contemporary American culture.  The group's amusingly pious pop act features slick dance moves, heavenly harmonies, and laugh-out-loud lyrics such as "Girl You Make Me Wanna Wait" and "Jesus Called Me on My Cell Phone."
