From the Altarholics website:

Ken Davenport and Robyn Goodman, in association with Walt Grossman, Ruth Hendel, Sharon Karmazin, Matt Murphy and Mark Shacket, proudly announce that Matthew Buckner (as Matthew), Ryan J. Ratliff (Mark), John Arthur Greene (Luke), Jay Garcia (Juan) and Nick Blaemire (Abraham – he’s Jewish!) will star in Altar Boyz when it kicks off a 30-week National Tour with a three-week engagement at The LaSalle Bank Theatre (18 West Monroe Street) in Chicago beginning October 10th.

The tour continues on to Austin, Boston, Baltimore, Birmingham, Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale, Hawaii, Los Angeles (3 weeks!), Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco (4 weeks!), Sarasota, Seattle, Tempe, Tucson, and Wilmington. A complete schedule and more information can be found here. Photos of the cast are below. Please click the images for a larger version.

Here are the photos of the cast that they have up:

I'm really looking forward to seeing the show when it comes to Boston and have high hopes for this cast, even though I'm going to miss all of the originals who I got to see last year. And on a more superficial note, I'm happy to see that the cast (especially Matthew Buckner and Jay Garcia, in my opinion) is really good-looking.

I saw this in NY in a small theatre and really liked it but I don't see it working so well in a huge theatre like the Golden Gate or Orpheum in San Francisco where it will play for four weeks. I wish they would put it into a smaller place.

Aww, cute! Ken Davenport is actually from central Mass, so maybe he'll make a stop back home!
