ALTAR BOYZ MAKES ITS MUSIC CIRCUS PREMIERE

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MUSIC CIRCUS

The foot-stomping, rafter-raising production of “Altar Boyz” will make its Music Circus debut on Tuesday, July 14. The new off-Broadway hit will run through July 19 at the Wells Fargo Pavilion, 14. Tickets are on sale now!

After years of performing in bingo halls and youth group rallies, the Altar Boyz have moved on up and are performing at Sacramento Music Circus! Mathew, Mark, Luke and Juan along with their Jewish lyricist Abraham have grown into pop stars with a mission to save the souls of audiences around the world. But just like any other boy band, the Altar Boyz deal with the struggles of going solo and even some of their own demons. Remembering their mission and what brought them together in the first place, the Altar Boyz finish their concert united and holier than ever.

“Altar Boyz” includes a dream-team cast of talented actors. The group’s leader Matthew will be played by Devin DeSantis, who played the role in the Chicago production. Mark, “the sensitive one,” will be played by Jamison Scott who played Eugene in the most recent Broadway revival of “Grease.” Ryan Nearhoff will play the street-wise Luke. The Latin lover Juan will be played by, Andres Quinero who appeared as Juan in the national tour of “Altar Boys.” Tim Dolan will reprise the role he’s played in the national tour, Abraham, the gefilte fish out of water.
