THE BOOK OF MORMON ON TOUR
The New York Times calls it "the best musical of this century." The Washington Post says, "It is the kind of evening that restores your faith in musicals." And Entertainment Weekly says, "Grade A: the funniest musical of all time." Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show calls it "Genius. Brilliant. Phenomenal." It's The Book of Mormon, the nine-time Tony Award®-winning Best Musical. Contains explicit language.
You have to know that as a Matt Stone/Tret Parker endeavor this is no holds barred, profane and completely irreverent. If you're prepared for that, you will laugh your a** off! Very clever, and some great talent!
The Book of Mormon was entertaining, with witty humor and an interesting plot. It was written by the creators of Southpark, so you have to expect lots of EXPLICIT language, which was well enjoyed by the audience. The play does cross over into inappropriate topics, but does it well so the audience laughs. The play made a statement about atrocities in Africa, about religion being made up, and about gays pushing down their gay into a box in their heart. Our only complaint was that it was hard to hear. We could hear the music well, but the lines and the singing was a bit muffled, so when I mentioned the gal singing "Salt Lake City" to my friend, she had not understood any of that song.
Amazing! Irreverent! Fantastic! Hilarious! Loved it! Must see!
I was so looking forward to seeing "The Book of Mormon" - I'm a huge South Park fan and absolutely LOVE their sense of humor. (I also have a strange obsession with Mormonism!) I tried to lower my expectations because I was afraid the musical would not live up to the hype, but apparently, I didn't lower them enough. The performances were great, the songs were catchy... I think it was the writing that was simply lackluster. It did have moments of brilliance, but missed so many great opportunities to tell a better story (and better jokes). It was crass (although my husband thought it wasn't crass enough!) Definitely NOT worth the ticket price.
Absolutely fantastic show, I highly recommend it to all.
I've heard about the play for years, and it was too expensive to see it in NYC. I got tickets for the LA show and had no idea what the play was really about or any of the music, I just knew how genius Matt and Trey are, so I knew it should be good. It was actually great. I laughed non stop. It was absolutely one of the best plays I have ever seen, and by far the funniest. Spamalot is so mediocre compared to this (I think it's overhyped to begin with).
Wonderful show! Even though I knew the soundtrack by heart, I still belly-laughed! The choreography is outstanding--GOGOGO!!!
The Book Of Mormon - SEE IT!! HURRY!! It is Absolutely FANTASTIC! September 5 - November 25, 2012 A MUST SEE at the Pantages in Los Angeles It is seldom if EVER that I have been in a theater where the excitement was so palpable. And, it was probably the youngest theater-going crowd I've seen in YEARS! The voices, the orchestration and the staging were superb! And Clever!! OK - if you are "language and religiously squeamish" you could find it a bit hard to take in some of the numbers, but my face hurt as I drove home from laughing and appreciating the truth of the themes. Spontaneous cheers and ovations await!!
This is the best musical I have ever seen. It had you laughing so much that it hurt. The only play that had you laughing from one scene into another. Amazing job Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
This original creation not only lives up to but goes beyond the hype. From the very beginning, the high energy show never let's up. The cast is first rate, led by Gavin Creel and Jared Gertner who were both awesome. Loved the staging, the dancing, the music and the humor. This is what I call entertainment. A production I could enjoy again!
I didn't exactly know what to expect and if I had tried to guess, I would have been wrong. The Book of Mormon entertained on so many levels... from giving some insight to the basic tenets to the creative and hilarious musical numbers. From beginning to the happy ending, this satire had a heart. While I do not condone poking fun at anyone's faith, I'm not so sure the Latter Day Saints will mind the publicity this little marvel might send their way. I'm sure it will help Mr. Romey explain his life's journey just a little bit to the everyman.
Can't believe how much we enjoyed this show! Sneakily subversive and so good natured! Very fast paced, fabulous music. Musical theater is alive and well.
This just might have been the best show I've ever seen. The songs were hilarious, the dancing fantastic, the sets, the costumes, all of it so incredibly good. Every single performer was terrific. If you can still get tickets, go go go.
It is now clear why the musical The Book of Mormon won nine Tony awards. It is so well crafted and performed. Get yourself to the theater to see this amazing musical.
The first act was excellent--very original, creative. The second act I thought became rather formulaic in the story resolution,, and lacked in the creativity exhibited in the first act. Excellent performances...strong, energetic. I thought the crude humor went a bit TOO far in the second act, and started to rely on the crudeness of an ongoing joke for laughs a bit too much
I am utterly amazed at how much professional performers have to give; and the cast in BoM made me feel as if they were performing just for me. There were astonishing solo moments, but it's an ensemble show and the ensemble is uniformly good, at times terrific. While the language is often profane, at times gratuitously so, it's also funny, clever, and intelligent. The book has something to say and it says it with style, warmth, and humor. I also felt like the writers of the show respect musical theater history and that this show was a little like a love song, a tribute to it. It's not this big self-conscious egotistical statement about being cool; it's about being good. I'm not a Mormon, but I don't happen to feel that this show laughed at them as much as it invited us to laugh with them, and the enormous amount of faith required to subscribe to almost any religion. It was a wonderful evening that I will recall often.
I thought the show was brilliant! Clever, smart, and hilarious. So well written.
Highly recommended - as with all of Matt and Trey's work, you need a high tolerance for four-letter words, but the show has amazing singing, dancing and production values. GO SEE IT!!
Worth every dime. You should treat yourself to something fresh, new and very funny. Book of Mormon is all of that. Enjoy.
An amazing show! Wonderful cast! We all had a great time at The Book of Mormon. I hope I have the chance to see it again. Be prepared to laugh and sing along. Expect to have a wonderful time!!
