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."

Good Broadway play that gives you an insight into Mormon missionary work and the challenges that they face. This play is funny and the actor that plated Elder Cunningham and Elder Price are fabulous. It is funny and an enjoyable musical.

"Dark humor:)"

I have been here with friends and did not know what I got myself into. So imagine my surprise when song after song everyone on this planet was made fun of. The musical goes below all belts imaginable, but that is exactly what makes it this fantastic. I would say it requires an acquired taste, and it will not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, if you have dark humor, it is for you! Definitely not a classic but definite must see

We are fans of South Park so we had an idea of the humor involved. It exceeded our expectations. This show was hilarious. Do not attend if you are religious or easily offended. Lots of swearing and crude gestures and behavior. A great time! (But not for children)

"Bring Back the Original"
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
Reviewed April 29, 2025
Was disappointed that the original theme had been revised. I don't feel the serious topics were a good crossover. Some might say clever, I disagree. To me the humor was lost, and the theme distracted from enjoying the production and talents of the cast. Totally embarrassed that I invited family to this event.
