with funk and rhyme. With lyrics like "Girl, you make me wanna wait" and
"Jesus called me on my cell phone" this irreverent (but never
mean-spirited) musical-comedy will wash your soul clean with laughter.

AUDIENCE COMMENTS
"Wow! This show was full of energy, humour and great singing! I
absolutely loved it from the moment I took my seat. It was 85 minutes of
pure entertainment. My 12-year-old daughter loved it as well. She was
singing "Jesus called me on my cellphone..." all the way home! Highly
recommend this laugh out loud production."
—Leanne, Maple Ridge
"Altar Boyz was so uplifting, vibrant and powerful, we have seen it
twice. A friend we took to our second viewing is arranging to go a
second time himself with another group of friends. The musical energy is
infectious, the choreography fun, and the talent of the performers
outstanding. This show is a real winner."
—Karen
"Dynamic, Delicious, Devilishly Delightful production. These Boys are at
the top of their game. Bring your open minded friends, family, and
priest to this rollicking, rollercoaster of revelry. Once is not
enough!"
—Heather, Richmond
