It’s a great show, executed poorly.
Most annoying, I was seated in the right orchestra, three seats in from the aisle about 9 rows back. The stage right off stage area was poorly draped for most of the show, so we all watched the stagehands and off-stage stuff for a good part of the show! Really took us out of the experience. Felt very high school production. Embarrassing for the National Theatre.
The choreography was mediocre.
The casting director made odd choices. For example the frightening warlord was played by a skinny guy, not at all convincing.
Many of the players seemed to phone it in. The leads were invested, but the rest of the cast seemed like they were there for a paycheck.
Voices were very good, if overmiked.
I guess this is what you get with a touring company.

The play was fantastic! Might have even been a tad bit better than the version I saw at the Kennedy Center years ago. Elder Cunningham was top notch! Highly recommend this play for non stop laughing!

Straight Laughter - Must Be Ok with Explicit Language
The National Theatre - Washington
I’ve seen Book of Mormon multiple times, it’s one of my favorite shows. As long as you can explicit language, this show is laugh out loud from beginning to end.

The Book of Mormon was horrible and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
