"Book of Mormon" cast interview

[@MaddiRoseCook]

I love the cast. Not only are they wonderful actors and singers, they are also well spoken and funny.

[@lulubella333]

the cast: *shows up* me: perfect. amazing. i'll watch it 5 times

[@victoriatorres7586]

The Book of Mormon is & forever will be my favorite Broadway musical omfg

[@Joe-wj4hj]

+Victoria Torres my name is alexander hamilton

[@samuelhirsch6936]

it's also an actual book about prophets from the ancient Americas comparable to the Bible

[@Kai_Imber]

Victoria Torres Hamilton is sneaking up

[@TonyMacroni633]

Victoria Torres just saw it, Really dope

[@meltedmarshdaddy]

@@Joe-wj4hj Hamilton is just another come and go musical hit. Book of Mormon is a lifelong classic. Amongst Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, etc. Hamilton hasnt even been as succesful as Book of Mormon 😂

[@therealribbit]

If Rory O'Malley sat two inches more to the left he'd have looked like the 2nd host of the show.

[@TheSharksgorawr]

I just love Andrew rannells. He's just stunning

[@Actors317]

I wish Matt & Trey would do a film version of this show with this cast. That'd be pretty cool.

[@DivineBanana]

It actually breaks my heart that we will never see the original production with the original cast unless you were lucky enough to catch it live while they were still touring. The only video that exists is a really bad quality bootleg version, which is better than nothing but I just wish we had a legitimately filmed version just to archive. We will never get that unless they do a reunion or something.

[@brookestringer7323]

The coffee scene always makes me laugh😂

[@chickenofrobot567]

of course you woke up you dRANK TWELVE CUPS OF COFFEE

[@riparianlife97701]

The most telling thing about the audience is that they don't laugh when the story follows the mainstream Christian beliefs, but they laugh out loud when something specifically Mormon comes up.

[@brsbro879]

Well all the punchlines are about Mormon. Also a lot of the lines that hit all religions are laughed at. For example "oh no that was just a metaphor, those stories aren't real." Also "I believe that the lord god created the universe, and I believe that Jesus died for my sin, and I believe that ancient Jews built boats and sailed to america." The punchline is the boat building, not the Jesus/creationism.

[@geico105]

Well, people are more used to Christianity than Mormonism, so the Mormon parts catch them off guard.

[@princeace9684]

*Rory starts speaking* Me: Eee! Bby

[@Karlurbans]

Yes

[@musicandotherfunstuff]

Can’t believe it. It’s Olaf/ Bailey, Bailey, Bailey/ Boss Dog. Such a great voice that Josh Gad has. I don’t know anything about this play yet, but it’s interesting that someone who voiced 2 popular characters was in it.

[@katiefutrell8669]

Matt and Trey deserve Lifetime Achievement Awards.

[@anthonysacco3577]

+Katie Futrell What about Robert? Matt and Trey didn't do this all by themselves, ya know.....plus, the choreographer, music director, costume designer.....

[@SuperSethstone]

+Anthony Sacco what about Robert? She said Lifetime achievement awards. Not "book of mormon" awards. Im sure Robert has his accomplishments. But Matt and Trey have literally helped change the face of pop culture in hugely significant ways WAY before Book of mormon became a thing. They have earned lifetime achievement awards while Robert has not. Not yet anyway.

[@zacharybeahan5012]

Anthony Sacco They wrote it alongside Robert though, plus Trey wrote most of the songs alongside​ Matt. This was technically their project, but Robert being a fan of theirs and them of him, they worked together on it. Not just that, but Trey and Matt have done a lot more in the way of movies​ and of course TV shows, now this. They are amazing, more so Trey because let's be honest he does most of the work.

[@badi1072]

Anthony , don't be such a bitch.

[@Andrew-qu7lq]

@@SuperSethstone Robert Lopez has had a pretty successful career though, and is still pretty young. He's won an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony award, more than once. I would say that's pretty impressive. Probably a little early for lifetime achievements when all 3 have plenty of future opportunities in front of them though.

[@mowgli773]

lol the song he was talking about was hasa diga ewbawi

[@yookieyookie3311]

Matt and Trey have this impossible talent of writing comedy about very touchy subjects and still make political points

[@orangefanta22]

I met every one of them!!! Rory recognized me and knew my name because i tweet him 24/7, andrew held my hand for like 10 secs and squeezed it tightly (i peed my pants after) and Josh said I love you and we had a whole convo with him, nikki, and rory!!! It was the best night of my entire life. Then we came back the next day and they all recognized us!!

it's Olaf... holy crap.

Is it just me, or does Andrew Rannells look like the illegitimate spawn of Seth MacFarlane?

[@stupidfrog]

If you think he is the spawn of Seth MacFarlane, search up MikeyBolts. Yeah.

He looks like that fucker Todd from Breaking Bad

[@sigsin1]

When it got to Grand Rapids, Michigan. LOTS of people walked out. As my daughter used to say, this is a ‘churchith’ town. I have loved Matt and Trey since 1997, when I was 37 and I’m female so I wasn’t in their target audience. I came in second place in the Chef’s Salty Balls contest. Bigger, Longer and Uncut was genius.

[@leftyspade]

Saw the Musical and was offended the overall show was exceptional and loved how the LDS enjoyed it as well. We left and who got on the train, 42nd street, with us, Josh. So cool. Obviously we didn't say a word.

[@sarahpolkadot2]

Actually, I never did like South Park, but I LOVE bom!

[@787brx8]

I'll insert the "I Believe" song right here!

The Book of Mormon is genius. People who turned their noses at South Park ended up paying hundreds of dollars to see a glorified, human episode of South Park. Brilliant.

emailjwr I am, thank you. I wasn't aware of how bad the language was before I went. If you have seen the musical then you know how offensive The musical can be. It made me feel uncomfortable and therefore had to leave. I don't think you should ever have to sit through anything when it is offensive to you.
