The Book Of Mormon Show Details & Reviews
The Book of Mormon is a musical comedy tracing two Mormon missionaries who try to preach to a remote African village. The missionaries are generally ignored as villagers are focused on more pressing issues from AIDs to famine to oppression from local warlords, but in the end, the villagers do buy into some of the missionaries' teachings and unite with the missionaries against the local warlords to make the town their own form of paradise.
The year it opened, the show won nine Tony Awards, including best musical, and a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album. The Mormon church was aloof with regard to the show.
The Book of Mormon was the brainchild of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who partnered with Avenue Q’s Robert Lopez.
The show got rave reviews when it opened, including this gem from the Huffington Post in previews: “Is it as subversive as South Park? Unequivocally, The Book of Mormon is pee-in-pants funny, outrageous, shocking, which you’d expect. What you might not have seen coming are energetic and elaborate dancing, catchy tunes, insight into the nature of faith and the American hubris of spreading our brand of magic and lies all over the globe.”
New York Times reviewer Ben Brantley was equally as ebullient: “I am here to report that a newborn, old-fashioned, pleasure-giving musical has arrived at the Eugene O’Neill Theater, the kind our grandparents told us left them walking on air if not on water. So hie thee hence, nonbelievers (and believers too), to “The Book of Mormon,” and feast upon its sweetness.”
