The Book of Mormon, a boldly irreverent and satirical musical
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, known for their daring approach to pushing the boundaries on controversial topics, teamed up with Robert Lopez to co-write The Book of Mormon. Development began in 2003 when they conceived the idea of writing a musical based around Joseph Smith, the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder.
What is The Book of Mormon musical about?
Follow the journey of two missionaries who dream of serving in Orlando, only to be told they must serve in Uganda. While in Africa, they share their scriptures with the local community. The locals don’t care about what they have to say: AIDS, famine, and warlords pose a more significant threat. Join Elder Price and Elder Cunningham as they spread the gospel and attempt to make every day a latter day.
While The Book of Mormon satirises the Christian denomination, it accurately sheds light on Mormon ideas and practices. It’s common for young men to serve a two-year mission and spread their faith worldwide — just like Elder Price and Elder Cunningham.
Why is The Book of Mormon musical so popular?
The Book of Mormon has delighted audiences for years with its irreverent humour and unapologetic wit. The show bravely tackles complex social commentary and dives into topics often considered taboo, set to catchy songs that you’ll be humming long after the curtain call.
