<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">A foot-stomping, rafter-raising musical comedy about a fictitious Christian boy band on the last night of their national "Raise the Praise" tour. The Boyz are five all-singing, all-dancing
heartthrobs from Ohio: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">With their tight harmonies and spectacular choreography, the Altar Boyz delight their audience. Performing a full set, including their signature hits “Rhythm In Me,” “The Calling” and “I
Believe,” the Boyz question their loyalty to each other and ask whether or not faith is really holding them together. In the end, they deliver a message of unity: “there is no star as bright as its constellation, no harmony in a single voice.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
