'Altar Boyz' Chicago Announces Final Extension thru March 30

The hit musical Altar Boyz, announces final extension at Drury Lane Water Tower Place, 175 E. Chestnut Street, in Chicago, now through March 30, 2008.  The new block of tickets, priced from $45 to $55, will go on-sale Friday, February 8 at 10 a.m. via the Drury Lane Water Tower Place Box Office, by calling 312-642-2000 or online at Ticketmaster.com.  

Armed with catchy melodies, heavenly harmonies, divine moves and gobs of hair product, the Altar Boyz are five small-town guys trying to save the world - one screaming fan at a time.  Presented as a concert in real-time, this hilarious musical comedy sweetly satirizes the phenomenon of boy bands, the popularity of Christian-themed music, and excessive product placement in contemporary American culture.  The group's amusingly pious pop act features laugh-out-loud lyrics such as "Girl You Make Me Wanna Wait" and "Jesus Called Me on My Cell Phone." 

Altar Boyz – starring Devin DeSantis (Matthew), Brian Crum (Mark), Tyler McGee (Luke), Adam Zelasko (Juan), and Nick Verina (Abraham) – began performances on September 28 and has been met with overwhelming audience response and widespread critical acclaim.  The Jeff-Recommended production is directed by Stafford Arima, choreographed by Christopher Gattelli (both of the original New York creative team), and produced by Joe McGinnis.  Musical Director Alan Bukowiecki conducts a band on-stage comprised of Jeremy Ramey on keyboard, Ethan Deppe on drums, and Malcolm Ruhl on guitar.  Radio legend Roy Leonard can be heard as "the Voice of G.O.D."
