The boyz may be quirky but they sound amazing - better than most real boybands and there is no tracking or "sweetening" in the show - 5 actors singing it all live on stage. The show takes place in real time during an Altar Boyz concert. The show is approximately 90 minutes and the longest any character is offstage is approximately 2 minutes. All 5 boyz sing every song in the show. For more information, visit www.altarboyz.com. SEEKING: IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT FOR LUKE (rehearsal begins 4/7). Future replacements for all other roles.

Strong comedic instincts necessary. Pop baritone. Ideally reads mid to late 20s. IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. REHEARSAL BEGINS MON 4/7. Matthew: The leader of the group with looks and charisma to spare, a voice that could sell millions of albums and an ease with the audience that makes the girls and boys swoon. A pop tenor. Preferably able to beatbox. Ideally reads mid to late 20s. Mark: The innocent "bowl of sunshine". He has always looked up to Matthew and is really, really glad that they are friends. Strong comedic instincts necessary. High Pop tenor. Ideally reads early 20s. Juan: The "ethnic one". Juan was dropped on the steps of a church in Tijuana and raised by nuns who raised him as a Hispanic. In reality, he may or may not be although he does speak with a Spanish accent. Strong comedic instincts necessary. Pop Baritone/Tenor. Abe: The Jewish Altar Boy. Abe loves singing and dancing and, while he is perplexed as to why God told him to join a Christian Boyband, he faithfully gives it his all while still fully retaining his faith. He loves these guys and is accepted by them 100%. Pop Baritone/Tenor.
