*Not all pics from the Granville Island Stage run, or the BC Tour in 2009 are still available.  You waited really long to look at them… what’s up with that?  Try photo bombing one of the boyz the next time you see them on the street or at church.  That’s probably a fun challenge for you… photo bomb all of the guys who were in the Arts Club production of Altar Boyz at any given time.  You’ll need to photo bomb Jeremy Crittenden, Geoffrey Stevens, Jak Barradell, Michael Culp, Vincent Tong, David Hurwitz and Charles McEachern.  Show us the pics and we’ll find a prize or something.  Maybe some cake.

You’ve likely got a few burdens on that ol’ soul of yours, girl, but you know the boyz got yer back.

Now we’ve also got a deal to save your wallet, too.

For 48 hours, the boyz are offering premium seatz for only $19!! Click HERE to book them now, before time runs out.

Yo, Vancouver, the Altar Boyz are back in town and they’re better than ever! Intent on saving souls and raising spirits with their ability to “drop the funk” in freaky five-part harmony, Altar Boyz is a delicious send-up of boy bands, full of sharp parody, sinfully spectacular dancing, and infectious energy. With lyrics like “Girl, you make me wanna wait” and “Jesus called me on my cell phone,” this irreverent musical comedy will wash your soul clean with laughter. These pop heartthrobs first hit Vancouver in the summer of 2009 at the Arts Club’s Granville Island Stage, following an Arts Club tour. In total, over 34,000 audience members saw them “raise the praise.”

Altar Boyz ran Off-Broadway from 2005 to 2010, gaining rapturous critical and audience acclaim while becoming the 9th longest-running Off-Broadway musical of all time. It won the 2005 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical, as well as both the 2006 and 2007 Broadway.com Audience Favorite Award. Kevin Del Aguila’s book was also nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book in 2005. Altar Boyz has been mounted all over the world, including Korea, Hungary, Finland, Australia, and the Philippines.

Book by Kevin Del Aguila. Music and lyrics by Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker. Conceived by Marc Kessler and Ken Davenport. Starring Jak Barradell, Jeremy Crittenden, Michael Culp, Brandon Eddy, Geoff Stevens. Director Bill Millerd. Choreographer Sara-Jeanne Hosie. Musical Supervisor Sasha Niechoda. Musical Director Jim Hodgkinson. Musicians Buff Allen, Doug Balfour, Jim Hodgkinson, David Sinclair. Set Designer Ted Roberts. Costume Designer Sheila White. Lighting Designer Marsha Sibthorpe. Sound Designer Andy Horka. Stage Manager Louis-Marie Bournival. Assistant Stage Manager April Starr Land

Well, this marks the end of an incredible journey for thousands of fanz, an amazing company of crew, musicians and directors, and five funky boyz.

On behalf of the entire company of the Arts Club’s production of “Altar Boyz,” thank you all for coming to see us onstage, and here on the Altar Blog.  It means a great deal to us all.

WE LOVE YOU VANCOUVER!!!!!

Peace Out.

-Jeremy (Matthew).
