[@jamesrawlins735]

If you enjoyed this you should check out the South Park episode "All About the Mormons". It's one of the less vulgar, very funny (complete with a couple of very good songs) and it makes a great companion to Book of Mormon. Even a lot of Mormons actually found it very funny.

[@aarondonald1611]

Book of Mormon is better than South Park, imo. I know they've done South Park their whole lives but Book of Mormon was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life

After so many years of wanting I finally went to see it Monday (3rd April) in London and mate I was in tears... Hilarious and brilliant it is SO South Park, it flies near the sun often. As a huge bonus I just happened to be sitting next to a lad from Utah, he loved it too !!

It was better than I thought It would be for sure - but my favorite is still the "All About the Mormons" episode from South Park.

Haha was the person sat next to you a mormon as it has been known for missionarys to get members to buy tickets and start conversations in there for the missionarys outside .. yes I will admit I am lds mormon and not from utah but have friends and family in utah so maybe it was someone I know

[@eugeneshadwell6596]

Brilliant! I saw it last night in London, just magnificent throughout, every performance brilliant, I really can't say a bad word about it! What surprised me was not the supposedly 'offensive' content but how genuinely heartwarming and likeable it was in places. an absolute masterpiece and I will be returning to see it again as soon as possible.

[@erichoce8532]

The fact that this musical is written by Trey Parker, and Matt Stone, really shows how talented of a duo they are

[@SIZModig]

I saw the original back in 2017 on Broadway, as well as the Lion King. The Book of Mormons made the Lion King seem a joke in comparison, it's just on a whole other level! This is the best version of 'Hello' that can be found online, but man I am so sad that there's no digital version of the musical so people who can't go to the US can finally see it too...!

Or people like me in the USA who is essentially homebound due to issues of chronic illness pain. At least I've gotten to see a few segments from the musical online. I'd also love to see the Beetlejuice musical as well.

None of you realize the joke in the title. The financial arm of the Mormon church, Ensign Peak Advisors, has invested in Mastercard, but not in Visa. Thus, there is an intimate connection between the two companies.

Just saw this show the other night and it was just as funny and offensive as I had hoped! There was an ambulance outside the theater when the show was over, and I couldn't help but wonder if someone was so offended they actually had a heart attack. It's no laughing matter, but this is Dallas, TX, and I honestly think this show made more than a few elderly conservative audience members' hearts flutter. I was actually surprised there weren't many intermission walk-outs.

[@PhilipSuitters]

The entire show should be made available on BluRay. Let a wider audience enjoy it and let them see how silly the Mormon religion is. The Good Ole U.S. of A. Just had to have its own part in a religion, so they make up a story claiming America was actually the centre of this religion and the Garden of Eden is in Jackson, Missouri. Originally a deeply WASP religion, Mormons had to amend the racist religion in the late 1970’s, but were still updating their Book Of Mormon as recently as 2010. If only those golden tablets could be found again!

[@Cbiskit23]

[@blucolife]

I wonder if anyone became a Mormon after watching The Book of Mormon. I heard the play was well-received in Utah. Mormons have a sense of humor.

[@micheleh3851]

@blucolife - It was generally well-received in Utah by attendees who were not Mormon or who were inactive Mormons. However, active, devout members that chose to see it were generally offended and some walked out. You can read about the Salt Lake reviews on NPR radio website. I read reviews of it in other locations like Broadway in NYC and while most attendees who gave reviews liked it, there was still a fair amount of people who are not Mormon but do identify as Christian that found the mocking of God disrespectful, regardless of the religion.

[@blucolife]

@@micheleh3851 Did they actually mock God? I thought most of the mockery was about themselves, with the exception of God changing his mind about black people- love that line. As for me, one of the nicest guys I ever knew was a Mormon. He never judged anyone, never tried to convert us, his only standard was that he couldn't work for any advertising agency that had a coffee or alcohol account, so he ended up in Utah.

[@micheleh3851]

@blucolife - At least 1 song is directed to God where they are telling God to F-off, so I say yes, the play is mocking God. A devout LDS missionary and devout LDS member would never blaspheme the name of God and profane His name.

[@micheleh3851]

@themoon9442 - I'm not Ugandan, but I do know the Broadway cast called for some script edits to make it more respectful to people of color and Ugandans. So, when Broadway theaters re-opened after the Covid lockdowns, the Book of Mormon had been given a slightly revised script. Other Broadway plays like Hamilton also got minor script edits to be more respectful to black characters too.
