NOTE: All roles must have very strong singing ability (including tight
harmony singing), strong hip-hop and pop dance ability and very strong
comedic instincts. 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.
Luke: The "bad boy". Street-wise, but rather dim in every other area. He
gives everything he does 110% - even when he only has 60% of the know-how.
He speaks in hip-hop lingo from about 6 years ago. 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.
