I know the subject of the Book of Mormon musical gets repeated a lot here and many of you are probably tired of hearing about it. But I have to tell you that I saw it last night here in Salt Lake City, and the production here is just amazing. It’s in the new Eccles Center Theater, a gorgeous venue with an amazing sound system.
I saw it twice when I lived in Las Vegas and raved about it then, but here in Utah, every joke or mention of Utah or Sal Tlay Ka Siti gets a particularly rousing reception.
The cast last night was amazing, lots of energy and great singing and dancing skills, none of which I ever possessed so I admit to being in awe of these mostly young people. The young woman who plays Nabulungi, Myha’la Herrold, is a great vocalist and performer. One of my favorite parts is Elder Cunningham when he calls her repeatedly by a wrong name.
It’s very offensive and explicit, just the way I like my comedy musicals.
