Characters:
MATTHEW – (Tenor 1) (Vocal Range – Just shy of 2 octaves from C below middle C up to a B) The Leader. He’s the strong one. The real heartthrob. Oozes confidence. Well built.
MARK – (Tenor 1) (Vocal Range – C below middle C up to high E – 2+ octaves). The Sensitive One. Slight build. He’s totally gay but it’s never acknowledged. The audience knows it in the first few seconds. The rest of the Altar Boyz are oblivious. He has a major crush on Matthew.
LUKE – (Tenor 2) (Vocal Range – C below middle C up to an A. Needs to hit the E 2.5 octaves above that in a few riffs) The Bad Boy. Part of what makes Luke such an appealing Altar Boy is his delicious ghetto inflections and mannerisms. He's a rapper, he's street-wise but he's from the suburbs. Basically, Luke is the Donnie Wahlberg of the Altar Boyz. He doesn’t come across as being exceptionally smart, but has a heart of gold.
JUAN – (Tenor 1) (Vocal Range – C below middle C up to a B flat) (Hispanic) The Latin Lover. Needs a good Spanish accent. Strongly passionate about everything. He’s trying so hard to be good, but he wants so much to be bad.
ABRAHAM – (Tenor 2) (Vocal Range - C below middle C up to A, but also has to have a very strong super high falsetto up to a female range high B) The Gefilte Fish Out Of Water. He is the Jewish member who is along for the ride. He never feels like he fits in, but he might be the only one who truly gets what it’s like to be an Altar Boy.
