Broadway Across America Seattle and Seattle Theatre Group welcome the Off-Broadway hit musical ALTAR BOYZ to the Moore Theatre, February 6 – 11, 2007. Tickets will go on sale Friday, December 15.
ALTAR BOYZ, the acclaimed musical comedy now playing its second year Off-Broadway at New World Stages, is the winner of the coveted Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical Off-Broadway, and the longest running new musical comedy to open in New York in years!
