It was the funniest musical we have seen. Throughly enjoyed the Book of Mormon & it met our high expectations.
Absolutely hilarious from the start to the end. I was laughing so much, highly recommend going to the show if they’re in town. Cast was great!
A hilarious and risqué tour-de-force! Spectacular performances by leads and all around, and made for a very enjoyable evening—thank you!!!
I wasn’t impressed. I have a very good sense of humor, but didn’t find this play to be very funny
I had been told that the show was not family-friendly, but the level of vulgarity and sacrilege was astounding. The show is advertised as a cute, knock-on-Mormonism show, but between those silly songs it was extremely crass. And none of the music or voices were amazing enough to make up for it. Everyone I went with was surprised that the show still manages to sell out. We had been very excited to see it, but left sorry that we had ever been there.
The Book of Mormon was fantastic. I saw this show five years ago in LA with my daughter. I was so excited to see it again to share it with my husband. I knew he would love it as it’s one of my favorites. He loved it. The cast was great.
Great story, great music, great dancing...a very fun experience!
The theatre's sound system is the main reason for our low rating. Either the volume was turned very high or the system couldn't handle some of the loud pitch voices. Voices/lyrics were consequently distorted. At times, some people in the audience laughed - but, many others, like us, couldn't understand the lyrics thus missing the humor. We were quite disappointed. I so much want to see Les Miz but, I'm not going to spend the $300 plus to take a chance on the sound distortion of it's beautiful songs. BTW: We sat in the Dress Circle-Row D at the Book of Mormon. We did enjoy delicious snacks before the show. Kudos to the caterers and to the pleasant ushers.
This musical quickly joined our top 5! The performers were fabulous. We loved it!
The performance was well done. The language left witty and clever and headed for obscene.
