How am I just hearing about this??....read about it in Vogue while on the treadmill this morning and almost fell off laughing...I love the southpark guys and what they have done on Mormons in the cartoon and can not wait to see this! Launches February 24th...
The basis is 2 Utah Mormon missionaries sent to Uganda...the previews look hilarious! The first to see it must return and report!!!
Apparently goes a lot into Joseph Smith making it all up as he goes along and how this can make certain gullible people more happy...
From Trey Parker and Matt Stone, four-time Emmy Award-winning creators of South Park comes this hilarious Broadway musical about a pair of mismatched Mormon boys sent on a mission to a place that’s about as far from Salt Lake City as you can get. The Book of Mormon is written in collaboration with Robert Lopez, the Tony Award-winning writer of Avenue Q, and co-directed by Mr. Parker and three-time Tony nominee Casey Nicholaw (Spamalot, The Drowsy Chaperone). Previews begin at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on February 24, 2011.
