From Variety:

"Altar Boyz," about a Christian boy band whose songs include "Girl, You Make Me Want to Wait," will get an $800,000 Off Broadway production in early 2005, according to producers Robin Goodman and Ken Davenport. Goodman says the sold-out eight-perf run at the fest helped lure investors."

I suppose I'll get a chance to see this after all. I've been predicting big things for Andy Karl since his fantastic performance in the highly entertaining, Romeo and Bernadette. Now, time will tell.

Signing Billy Porter AND Altar Boyz. It seems like the theatre producers took their smarty pills today.

If you go to Cheyenne Jackson (is that his name?)'s website you can listen to an audio download of him singing "Girl, You Make me want to wait" (I think that's the name of the song.)

Mattio, what did Porter get signed to? He's been out of the loop for a long time, so I'm curious.

This is fantastic news! I'll be interested to see what, if any, kinds of changes they make production wise or if they add more of a "story" element to the show, than the just the concert element. Either way, can't wait to see it again.

Al, Billy got his one-man autobiographical show "Ghetto Superstart" signed to play as part of The Public's spring season.

Thanks Mattio, I believe Porter has been working on this for a very long time, so it's good to hear, he caught a break. Good news on this thread, all around. Even I have nothing even slightly negative to say
