Because the show's success depends on that one concept, every detail has to be perfec--and it is. Each member of the titular quintet is typecast--the Hispanic one, the gangsta one, the could-be-gay one, etc.--and the singers perfectly ape the perky 'N Sync\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmerican Idol\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e style, easily navigating between yelping pleading and bombastic bravado. The booklet even comes complete with lengthy, smarmy thanks from the Boyz (\"big props to the Big Man in the sky\"). As for the music, it's drenched in cheesy synths and appropriately catchy: Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker (contributing six songs each) may have gleefully nailed the genre's inane lyrics, but they didn't forget the melodies either. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e--Elisabeth Vincentelli\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Audio Cd, Cast Recording, May 17, 2005","offer_id":45915214610623,"sku":"a3c48f9b-f8ac-493a-ad24-1d5b506c3ec2","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/00586eb4e9831988a8254292e1860492.jpg?v=1785073736","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/altar-boyz-2005-original-off-broadway-cast","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
