Corey Boardman, who created the role of Matthew
in the Detroit and Des Moines productions of Altar Boyz, will take over
the role in the New York company for two weeks only, beginning March
20th.
Altar Boyz, the acclaimed musical comedy at Dodger
Stages, winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best
Musical Off-Broadway, recently celebrated its one-year anniversary 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," according to press notes.
Altar Boyz opens
April 12th at ChungMu Art Hall, Seoul, Korea; a national tour kicks off
in the fall; it will play
Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and
San Francisco, among other cities.
Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Boardman most recently appeared as Matthew in
Altar Boyz when it toured Detroit,
MI & Des Moines, Iowa. He has appeared in two independent films as well as multiple regional commercials and educational films.
His stage credits include regional productions of
Oklahoma!, The Real
Inspector Hound, and
The Outsiders.
