I went to a play toniiight! It's called "Altar Boys," and it was truly amazing. It's about these fives guys in a catholic singing group on the last day of their "Raise the Praise" tour. It's your typical boy band stuff. You have Matthew the leader, Luke the tough guy (..and recovering alcoholic and kinda stupid), Mark the sensitive one, (and flaming gay), Juan the suave Latino sweet talker, and Abraham who is kind of your average guy (and Jewish, ROFL).
The whole play they're making fun of religion, and boy bands. I absolutely, positively, loved it. Between the dancing and the lyrics in the songs...I was laughing the entire time. The entire show they're counting the souls they've cleansed on a screen they had hanging at the top of the stage. The show was witty to an extreme and just a lot of fun. If you have a good sense of humor about these things and won't get all offended I would recommend it to anyone.
I'm trying to convince my mom to take me again. One of my favorite lines out of the whole thing was:
Mark: Are Jewish people allowed in the church!?
Abraham: Well there's one hanging off of your cross over there.
Ahhhh! I always love all the plays we go to, and this has to be in my top 5. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
Oh, and at one point Juan unbuttons his shirt and goes up and there's a fan blowing so his shirt is billowing out. He plays a sexy Latino extremely well. He kept flirting with the girls in the audience which was even funnier because at the beginning of the show he announces that he was raised by nuns.
The audience was into it! The whole time they're screaming, and clapping, and just whooping it up. It was so enjoyable. The whole experience was just great.
I think it was a great opening night.
Till next time, lovies!
