Running since February 2011 From the creators of "South Park" and "Avenue Q," a bawdy, irreverent, hilarious, and heartfelt new musical about two missionaries sent to deepest, darkest Africa to spread the good word. Winner of 9 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
Those who have seen "South Park" probably won't need any warnings, but....the producers have issued a parental advisory due to explicit language. In our opinion, they need to add adult themes and sexually-explicit humor to their advisory, and clearly state that the show is not suitable for pre-teens.
Not sure if this is a show for you? These articles may help - 'Book of Mormon' - how offensive is it? from Entertainment Weekly, and from the Salt Lake Tribune, 'Book of Mormon' surprisingly sweet. And here's a Vogue article that deftly summarizes the show, saying it "starts out as a potty-mouthed buddy comedy" before "winding up as a kind of parable," and concludes that the musical's "dirty little secret is its big heart."
Cast Note - Tony-nominees Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells, who originated the central roles of Elder Cunningham and Elder Price, are no longer in the show.
