Book of Mormon with a terrible View
by Gi50 on 2/3/16Eugene O’Neill Theatre - New YorkRating: 3 out of 5Went to see The Book of Mormon on Sunday, and what I call an unique experience. I was a 1st time visitor to the theatre, taking my Husband to his 1st NYC broadway show experience. It was a special occasion, celebrating my 50th birthday. We Spent the extra money to sit in orchestra, only to find out the seats were jammed packed, sat down to to delightful smells of someone having flatulence issues, and was super lucky to be seated behind a guest who was taller than me. The guest in front of me was delighted with her long head of nasty hair. Throughout the show she thought it was appropriate to swing her head side to side, throwing her long locks, resulting in her hair flying in front of my face all while trying to enjoy a expensive evening out with my husband. TBH I actually pulled her hair several times, thinking she would get the point. It wasn't until we got to intermission where I had to tell her to stop. My husband who happens to be a lot taller than me, didn't have a problem. Gosh, I don't know, spending a lot of money to only see a big head of hair in front me, definitely had me irritated. Despite my sitting frustration, I did find the show to funny, but just not the "belly funny" i anticipated. I now think the "hair disaster" and "farting smells" might have been funnier, just wish it didn't cost me as much! All in all the actors are delightfully talented individuals, the set & costume design was nothing memorable.
