Interesting experience catching a matinee of Altar Boyz playing up at the Lawrence Welk Theatre this afternoon.  The audience was definitely of two minds: the people there for Altar Boyz and the people there because it was at the Lawrence Welk.  The group I went with loved the show, despite some of the blue hairs actually interrupting the show to yell that it was too loud.  Even walking out they couldn’t show enough respect to the rest of the audience to do so quietly.  It was a great show, and most of the audience definitely seemed to appreciate the humor of the show and the amazing performances of the cast.

Outside after the show, Erik McEwen, the very cool actor who plays the token jew in the Catholic boy band was talking to some of the appreciative audience members, and when asked commented on how shocked the cast was at the outburst from the audience.  The show’s been running since July and this was the first time they’d seen this type of reaction.

I’d write more about the show, but I think the North County Times’ review nailed it, so go read Frankie Moran.  Spinner’s exhausted, and I think I should be too.
