When the acclaimed, off-Broadway hit, "Altar Boyz" comes to
Honolulu's Hawaii Theatre this month, guests at Embassy
Suites-Waikiki Beach Walk will have first dibs on some of the best
seats in the house. The show, which is scheduled for six full
performances, is part of the production's very first national tour
and will run April 18-22.
"Embassy Suites-Waikiki Beach Walk is proud to help bring our
guests and local residents a production that has received such warm
reviews and garnered such a religious following," said Bob Yeoman,
general manager of Embassy Suites-Waikiki Beach Walk. "Altar Boyz'
is a great show that families and audiences of all ages will be
able to enjoy and appreciate."
The hotel is offering a limited number of exclusive hotel and
ticket packages for the show's Honolulu engagement, starting at
$269 for one night in a one-bedroom suite and two tickets to the
show. "Altar Boyz" is the story of a struggling Christian boy band
riding the wave of America's fascination with religion. The band
consists of the self-anointed apostles of pop Matt, Mark, Luke,
Juan and Abraham and boasts catchy melodies, unexpected moves and
interesting hairstyles. The show is known for original songs
including "Girl, You Make Me Wanna Wait" and "Jesus Called Me on My
Cell Phone." "Altar Boyz" made its world premiere at the New York
Musical Theater Festival in 2004, where its limited run received
high acclaim and sold out every performance.
The show was nominated for four Outer Critics Circle Awards in
2005, and received an award for Best Musical Off-Broadway. The show
also received seven 2005 Drama Desk nominations the most for any
show on or off Broadway that year and was also honored with two
Drama League Awards.
