Book Of Mormon |REACTION

[@rebel1608]

I saw this on Broadway, it was a fucking riot. Matt and Trey are undefeated

[@TheBr3akRoom]

They really are

[@tsurah5408]

I got to see it on broadway and then when it toured Australia I obviously watched it again. Still a great watch! There’s actually a filmed version of the original broadway cast that was one of their dress rehearsals that I’ve seen floating around KZbin if you want to try and track it down

[@foolwriter]

I caught this show in a relatively conservative area, and while the first couple songs are fairly tame, man, you know EXACTLY when a whole bunch of people started shifting in their seats and some got up to go. The rest of us had a ball.

[@Kirk3076]

Matt and Trey wrote this with Bobby Lopez, who went on to write all the songs from Disney’s Frozen. In “I Believe”, all the funny stuff he says (God changed his mind about black people, Jesus having his own planet) are actually in The Book of Mormon

[@mills3026]

Most of the weirdo stuff is in their other scripture not the Book of Mormon. Their D&C is wild.

[@MonsoonGeek]

I saw this when it was new. Elderly people flew out of that theatre before the intermission. I was crying laughing for the majority of this musical.

[@c.willharden9589]

Try: TURN IT OFF

[@songs4polarbear]

100% Turn It Off is the funniest! WHERE. IS. MY. BROTHER? 🤣

[@DaisyJaneCloud]

Like a light switch 💅🏼

[@ryanmurray1284]

My gf at the time won a Broadway lottery for tickets and told me we were going to see this day of the show. I was excited beings I’m a South Park fan but had no idea what this show was about. What an enjoyable experience it turned out to be

[@PelafinaLievre]

This won’t show up on any official performance or the official album, but in the play, after the song “I Believe” where Elder Price tries to convert the warlord, the warlord shoves the Book of Mormon somewhere Elder Price didn’t want it shoved.

[@cloud20zero]

Incredible.

[@sheriyl]

Book Of Mormon is still on broadway and going strong. I saw it in July and it was a full house!! Also it is still touring to sold out shows

[@robingalbraith323]

when i saw this in the theater, half the crowd left at intermission. Conservative indiana haha....it was a blast and i got a better seat!

[@TheBr3akRoom]

Too good

[@PeggyBball42]

This was a good Tony's opener but the best opener, to maybe any awards show, was 2013 - look up "Bigger 2013 Tony's Neil Patrick Harris" it's great

[@bunkbed643]

RIP James Earl Jones

[@TheBr3akRoom]

Definitely

[@CLOWTISMS]

WTF I had no idea he died

[@nickthedreamer4434]

In terms of the beginning production, Book of Mormon won Best Musical for 2011 so they invited those in what was the currently running version of the show to do the opening of the 2012 with their opening number as well as to introduce NPH AKA the host of the 2012 Tonys. Speaking of which, if you haven't already, Neil Patrick Harris did his own original Tony Openers for 2011 ("It's Not Just For Gays Anymore"), 2012 ("What if Life Were More Like Theater?"), and 2013 ("Bigger") which are all worth reacting to.

[@johndough3809]

Say this live in LA years ago, still have my playbill with the church taking out 3 full page ads in it. Was a great experience!

[@TheBr3akRoom]

Thats dope

[@jadegold8339]

I grew up Mormon I’m ex Mormon and only the male missionaries are called elders. They have sister missionaries who are called sisters. In the Mormon church in church buildings where they hold Sunday service you are referred to as brother if you’re a male and sister if you’re a woman, so I was always called sister [insert last name]

[@xc8bq]

This show is a must see! Its still on broadway and is currently on a us tour

[@paulstrunk662]

It’s still on Broadway! 8 times a week!

[@mintygrey]

I saw the touring cast this week in Edinburgh! Theatre was packed, on a Thursday, and it's running here for at least 2 weeks

[@igamarurbytes]

H'okay, basic TBOM info dump time! This musical opened on Broadway (in New York) in 2011 and won 9 Tonys (Broadway's Oscars) that year. In 2013, it opened in London's West End (England) and won 4 Olivier Awards (West End's Tonys). Both productions are still running now, in 2024. There's been several US and international tours, plus a few productions (staying in one theatre for months or years, not moving around) around the world. If you can make it to a theatre to watch it, PLEASE DO! These songs will make way more sense in context and then you'll know the story too, plus the rest of the songs. 'I Believe' was performed at the 2011 Tonys because they were nominated for 'Best Musical' which they won. The first song, 'Hello' was from the 2012 Tonys because traditionally the previous year's winner performs again the next year. That's why those are the only two filmed songs and they actually look professionally filmed. There's a real taboo around filming people onstage, just like filming in a movie theatre so technically there's full TBOM bootlegs on KZbin (filmed from the audience) if you know where to look, sshhhhhh. I'm not going to get into the weirdness of the Mormon religion and their beliefs (basically all of 'I Believe' and much more) for many reasons, it's NOT my place and neither is KZbin comments. There's a lot to unpack and examine there.

[@pi14pi14]

If you liked this, you should definitely try Beetlejuice the Musical (I know, I know). It's along the same tone comedically, but I would watch the songs with stage performances

[@jenfine]

Saw it years ago. I have this soundtrack. Every song is a jam and fucking hilarious.

[@Eruedraith91]

I just saw this live a few days ago on tour. Omg it was a spectacle.

[@TheBr3akRoom]

Thats dope

[@ten5h1]

NGL … as an avid reader, that opening song actually gets me wanting to read the Book of Mormon out of sheer curiosity if nothing else. Maybe to say “Oh! I’ve already read it.”

[@hurrle2]

OMG...guys!!! I have not seen your reactions in so long! I hope you all are doing great! Not sure why I haven't been able to see your content, but I have missed y'all. Great reaction guys!

[@TheBr3akRoom]

Hey, long time no see.. we are all good, hope you are as well.. youtube has our channel shadow banned, meaning most of the time you wont get a notification, even if you are subbed you wont see us on your recommended or newly dropped vids... and they will probly unsubscribe you at some point... so that is why🤣

[@michaelisbell1079]

The thing is every single thing in the entire show that is said about the Mormon faith was extremely well researched and accurate so your own planet 1978 got changing his mind Black people all that 100% true about their belief system

[@canadianmormarchist]

It’s my favourite musical It was a riot when I went to see it live. And the play even turned me into a Mormon

[@canadianmormarchist]

So all the male members of the church are given a priesthood first the Aaronic priesthood and then the malkezedek priesthood and all the male missionaries are part of the malkezedek priesthood and when they are set apart for their mission they are given the title of elder.

[@canadianmormarchist]

So from the time of the prophet Brigham young the second prophet of the lords church had misinterpreted the Book of Mormon and revelation to declare that African descended people cannot hold the priesthood or enter the temple (a sacred space for us) in 1978 the prophet at the time got revelation correcting the error allowing all worthy people of all Color into the temple and to hold the priesthood

[@canadianmormarchist]

So Joseph smith translated some ancient scripts and received revelation that we call the pearl of great price and in it it is revealed to us that the star kolob is the star that is closest to our Heavenly Father (god). We believe that he lives there and works from there

[@dmixdup]

You guys are missing some really funny lines when you talk over the song.

[@TheBr3akRoom]

facts

[@sms061961]

While we’re on the subject of Mormons, check out the Garfunkel and Oates song “the loophole”. You won’t be disappointed.

[@jonwright6472]

You should react to Everything Everywhere All At Once. It's a brilliant movie. Also, Daft Punk's Random Access Memories is also amazing.

[@thedanielklintworth]

If you have the chance to see the show: definitely do it. You won't be sorry. 😂

[@TheBr3akRoom]

💯💯

[@erikpeterson70]

So i looked it up out of curiosity, and apparently "hasa diga eebowai" actually translates to "especially diarrhea" in swahili. So that makes it even funnier once you know that loll

[@TheBr3akRoom]

💯🤣

[@damnimloomin]

This is still on broadway you GOTTA see it guys it’s so fucking funny

[@TheBr3akRoom]

💯💯

[@TomJones-wx5on]

Yall not losing at “wet with salvation” was a bummer. That line killed me

[@TheBr3akRoom]

Yeah, we are known to disappoint 🤣🤣

[@TomJones-wx5on]

@@TheBr3akRoom well damnit now I feel bad lol Love you guys ❤️

[@TheBr3akRoom]

🤣🤣🤣🤣im joking.. we are good.. thanks for watching💯💯💯

[@RLucas3000]

It’s still running 12 years later!

[@JC-bd5my]

I finally saw Book of Mormon when it came on tour, and OMG. It was f**king hilarious! Of course, it being written by the guys from South Park, it's full of OMFG moments, some of which you just have to see to believe. It pokes fun at some of the basic tenants of the Mormon religion, which I'm sure has been featured on South Park itself once or twice, but man.... I could hardly believe some of the things that they did on that stage. And the best part was... the Mormon Church, of course, despises this show to an extreme. But when it came here on tour, the Mormon Church themselves were outside the theatre trying to talk to people and share the actual Book of Mormon with people. I almost grabbed a copy myself! Hahaha! So, in a way, really, although the show bashes the Mormon Church left and right, it allows the Mormon Church to plead its case outside to the people. You should DEFINITELY go to New York and see it the next time you're there! You won't regret it.

[@christopherblue2004]

They won 9 tony’s for this musical. it’s hilarious, seen it twice.

[@c.willharden9589]

It means "F You God". Funny show, ive seen and worked as a stagehand on.

[@TheBr3akRoom]

Thats dope

[@christopherwickman4107]

If you guys haven't reacted to the "Broadway Bro Down" episode in South Park, that's a great follow up to this.

[@TheBr3akRoom]

We shall add it

[@DavidBrown-ly6lp]

A multi award winning play

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

Ive never been to this show and not seen someone leave. It's not for the easily offendedd6because this is just the tip of the iceberg😂

[@dustinnoel8371]

Watch the movie Orgasmo written by Trey Parker. About Mormon missionaries that are low on money so they go into the porn industry to make money. It’s hilarious.

[@Shaudzie]

Raised in utah and I still have no idea why they call those kids elders. Also, send help

[@TheBr3akRoom]

🤣

[@juliekeating382]

You should react to the entire musical see it on KZbin or see it at a broadway theater near you.

[@HisNameIsJoeyAndILovehim]

I don't know if Brian, Gus and Jason have ever watched The Burbs, however it's getting made into a show? What do you think about that?

[@TheBr3akRoom]

We will have to check it out, yea we seen it before

[@HisNameIsJoeyAndILovehim]

@@TheBr3akRoom Also if you believe that Killer Klowns From Outer Space is a crazy name for a movie... How about Biker Mice From Mars? I've never watched the animated series, however the name, means it's a guarantee, I will be watching the live-action movie of Biker Mice From Mars.

[@-amosc.presley-7192]

All of them Mormons looks like a bunch of Nerds and Sounds like 1 also…💜💜

[@TheBr3akRoom]

🤣🤣

[@HisNameIsJoeyAndILovehim]

No release date yet, so yeah.

[@theshadowfax239]

Are they all named Elder? 🤦‍♀️ Elder is a title

[@FilthyJamadian]

Paper Boi

[@djackklingler3]

They rewrote a lot of the funniest parts i.e. the most offensive parts because the actors got all offended and now it is nowhere near as funny or as good. I couldn't figure out why it seemed different the second time. I googled why it was different and that's why. Kinda sad even they would bend the knee to the woke mob.

[@mintygrey]

It's a shame tou talked over all of the lyrics to I Believe - you would have found it far funnier!

[@TheBr3akRoom]

👍🏼💯

[@rj-zz8im]

The Bible is just as comical as the Book of Mormon. They should do a musical poking fun at the absurdities of the Christian ridiculousness.
