I had already seen this show Off Broadway in NYC and though this cast wasn't as charismatic as the cast I saw in NY, the local cast is very good, for the most part, with excellent singing voices, and the production in general WAS as good as the NY show.Written on Aug 03 2009

The New York production of Altar Boyz is as legendary as the Statue of Liberty. The idea that the Celebration Theater was producing its own version of the long running off-Broadway smash was… well… ambitious. I love a surprise. Celebration Theater’s production of Altar Boyz is as good (if not better) than the original. What sets this production apart is the small space in which it is performed. This production benefits from the 99 seat Equity Waver Theater setting. You are literally on top of the action. And you cannot help but sympathize with the Boyz mission to save souls in West Hollywood as this 5 man casts gives 101%. The backup band is first rate and does not overwhelm the vocal performances. Clifford Bañagale is particularly notable as the Altar Boy with suppressed sexual feelings. Jake Wesley Stewart also hits the mother load as the Altar Boy who suffers from “exhaustion”. This show will be a big hit for Celebration Theater. And you will benefit from seeing this show. I’m still smiling.Written on Jul 27 2009

More Information About Altar Boyz
Description
Celebration Theatre presents the first show of their 2009-2010 season, the Los Angeles intimate theatre premiere of the heavenly smash-hit, musical comedy sensation, Altar Boyz. Altar Boyz will be choreographed by Ameenah Kaplan with musical direction by Chris Bratten and directed by Patrick Pearson.
Altar Boyz, the acclaimed musical comedy, is winner of the coveted Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical Off-Broadway! 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 tells the holy inspiring story of 5 small-town boys - Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham - trying to save the world one screaming fan at a time. Their pious pop act, including lyrics like "Girl You Make Me Wanna Wait" and "Jesus Called Me On My Cell Phone," worked wonders on the Ohio bingo-hall-and-pancake-breakfast circuit. But when fate brings them to West Hollywood, will the boyz be able to resist the tinsel town temptations? With angelic voices, sinfully spectacular dancing and a touching story, Altar Boyz is destined to rock the masses of all denominations!
