Outrageously.funny! Top notch Performances! Absolutely loved it.
I loved the idea of this play and enjoy much of the humor of its writers. It was fun and I had a few good chuckles. I had a few problems though...maybe because it was so hyped up by friends who had already seen it. First, I could not understand a lot of the "Ugandan" accents and missed a lot of lines because of it. I saw others leaning over to their play-mates and asking the same thing, "What did they say?" To me, none of the music was memorable because I usually leave a good musical humming one of the songs. The rest, well, it's the Pantages that was the problem. They had a snaking line for the bathroom that rivaled the Matterhorn ride at Disneyland. A handful of stalls for people drinking beverages (they serve alcohol). A couple minutes before the lights flickered the end of intermission, an usher tells us there is a much smaller line on the other side of the theatre...thanks! Meanwhile, there's a huge mirrored powder room that should be converted to toilets! This isn't a new problem. It's always been this way. Come on Pantages, give a girl a break! Oh, let's not forget the $5 M&Ms!
Awesome, hysterical & very relevant! The words of the day are BRILLIANT CONTEXT! Without them you cannot enjoy this show.
The show is such a broadway paradox. The singing and dancing is so talented and then you realize what they are singing about. It's hilarious. VERY South Park humor and extremely relevant when we are inches away from electing a mormon president.
This is the most hillarist thing i have evert seen you must go see it
If you like South Park, you'll love "Book of Mormon", It wasn't an "old school" musical.
This is definitely not for the faint of heart. Adults only for sure. The singing and dancing were phenomenal. I have to applaud the choreography it was so perfectly matched to the content of the show. You absolutely must see it!
I was expecting to be amazed by Trey Parker's latest masterpiece, and I was not disappointed. The Book Of Mormon was absolutely brilliant and hilarious. Highly recommended for anyone who likes things that don't suck.
The musical was enjoyable and there were some excellent parts Out seats were on the balcony therefore visual part was very good , audio part was not so great., even we have had Rabbit ears, Show is full of actions and no synopsis was printed which did nor help. I suggest that the synopsis be added so that we know what to expect next .It does not have to be detailed but as in any opera short one.
The show is funny and outrageous but has a sweetness that I wasn't so much expecting. Thoroughly entertaining.
Awesome! Everyone did such a great job - and the theater was packed!
It didn't hurt that it was in an Art Deco theater! The first act was great and the main actor had an insanely beautiful voice. But Act Two was outrageously hilarious. I especially loved the history parts with Jesus and Joseph Smith, as well as the Spooky Mormon Hell Dream. The writers paid off everything they set up in the first act to the hilt. It was fantastic!
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!!
