Description

The Book of Mormon, a Tony® Award-winning musical, is a hilarious and heartwarming experience on Broadway. Created by the masterminds behind South Park and Avenue Q, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the show follows two young missionaries as they navigate a series of challenges during their mission, including a bloodthirsty warlord. With sharp satire and irreverent humor, the musical explores themes of faith and friendship through witty dialogue and catchy songs.

The Book of Mormon skillfully blends contemporary culture and theatrical artistry, with impressive choreography and scenic designs by Scott Pask. The show's costume by Ann Roth adds the finishing touches, breathing life into the characters who exhibit genuine flaws and make you laugh until you cry. The production has received critical acclaim for its sharp dialogue, spirited musical numbers, and uproarious humor, making it a thought-provoking and entertaining show.

The New York Times calls The Book of Mormon "the best musical of this century." The Washington Post says, "It is the kind of evening that restores your faith in musicals." And Entertainment Weekly says, "Grade A: the funniest musical of all time." Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show calls it "Genius. Brilliant. Phenomenal."

The Book of Mormon is a truly special musical to attend with friends or family. Contains explicit language. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted.

"Not my taste at all"

I am a huge theatre goer but this just wasn’t for me. It’s not even about the religious aspect and I even giggled at a couple of things but overall it was just too much. The unnecessary swearing, particularly the use of the c word, that with jokes about infant raping are just not comfortable viewing. It was a last minute decision to see something on broadway but I really wish we had seen something else. It is no reflection on the cast at all or the beautiful theatre, simply a case of taste.

I was not at all excited to see this production, but boy was I surprised. EXCELLENT. Absolutely hilarious. Very politically incorrect. Mostly a very talented cast. A MUST SEE.

So… I’m a Gen X-er who grew up on crass jokes, Mad and Cracked magazines, Blazing Saddles, and I watched South Park from the start. I generally think people have gotten too sensitive in recent years. I figured this had to be pretty good since it’s been running so long, and I walked in prepared for a bunch of “Ooh…” moments because, after all, it’s the South Park guys. There was some good, but it was all overshadowed by the bit mocking Jesus’s crucifixion and especially the song: “F*** You, God” (“Hasa Diga….”). I was in the crowd that left at intermission—apparently a lot of us didn’t do our research—so my review is only based on the first act. If you enjoy sitting in a crowd and having people sing “F*** You, God” to you, this may be your thing. However, if that’s you then you still may find the jokes about race, sexual mutilation, and raping infants off-putting.
