Too raunchy for a conservative deeply religious grandparent, but anyone else would absolutely love this musical. It's a musical for folks who normally might not like musicals. Had me laughing so hard my stomach hurt afterwards. Anyone who goes to the theatre now and then would find this play unforgettable. Got a rousing standing ovation after the Sunday matinee. That's how good it was!

OMG, it was outrageously funny. Shocking and not something I would be comfortable sitting there with my kids (the people next to us had their daughter - frown). Actors were great. The seats sucked. One was behind a pole and the other was behind a guy that sat straight up most of the show. I read reviews of how awful the seats were but didn't believe there would be a pole. Show was still very funny and I saw most of it.

The Book of Mormon was extremely funny and very well done. The the young man who played Elder Cunningham was superb. All the actors and singers did their jobs well. I thought the musical was brought together from beginning to end keeping the interest of the audience at their complete attention. The writing was very creative and light and lively. If the Book of Mormon comes to our town, I would encourage my husband to go see it with me. It would be fun to see it again !

This was a great show, but I was disappointed that the amplification was too loud to understand what was said and sung on stage. And with the first musical number being performed too fast, the words were not able to be understood because of the speed, also. It was a struggle throughout the whole show to understand what was being said and sung. That was a shame because no other Broadway musical that I have gone to had this same problem.

Loved the show! However, had I been sitting next to my grandma during the "F*** You, God" song or during the Ugandans' reenactment of the book of mormon, I would have wanted to crawl out of there. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend this if your sense of humor has been described as sarcastic or "slightly off". You'll love it!

Although the music was loud and at times it was difficult to understand what was being said/sung and a bit difficult to see parts of the stage from our balcony seats, this show was an amazing experience. The music, lyrics, and the actors were very good. Just wish I was more knowledgeable about the Mormon religion before I saw the show so I could have picked up on more of the symbolism.

I smiled all the way through. I think this overheard conversation best sums it up.
Younger Woman - "How did you like it?"
Older Woman (70's) - "I enjoyed it. Obviously there were some offensive parts."
It was almost as if she felt guilty enjoying it so much!

The show is hilarious and inappropriate which is what anyone should expect from the creators of South Park. Music is awesome.
Kids should NOT be taken to see this show though, it is rated R for sure.
Ps...don't sit in the balcony at this theater. Limited view seating or not, everyone was leaning every which way just to see the stage. Very frustrating.

My husband and I went to see The Book of Mormon for two reasons:
A) The story of why the musical was written is amusing. The creators of South Park said, "Hey, it can't be THAT hard to write a musical - let's do it." So they did!
B) it won a bunch of awards so we wanted to see what the hype was all about.

If you like South Park, you will love it. For me, South Park is hit or miss. I'm not a huge fan but sometimes get a kick out of it. The Book of Mormon is a religious, social, racial, political, cultural, satire: par for the course for the South Park writers. It's obviously satirizes the Mormon religion the most, so knowing a bit about the Mormon church's beliefs definitely makes it more humorous.

It also echoed themes from famous Broadway shows, like "The King and I" and "Wicked," poking fun at the world of musical theatre. It was actually quite clever, so for all you Musical theatre buffs out there, you would appreciate that humor.

I give the show a three star rating because I don't feel that humor is equivalent to brilliance. It was a lot of fun, the set was beautiful, the actors performed marvelously, the orchestra was very talented, but for me, it is not something that I would see over and over again. I didn't leave singing any songs nor did I find the plot that intriguing.

I'm glad I saw it. I'm just not sure that it warrants the multiple awards it received: a thin plot-line that is supported by borrowed themes and vignettes and motifs of past Broadway successes. Is this the show that we want in future generations history books as the masterpiece of its time?

If you're looking for a fun and goofy night - then go see it. Otherwise, wait for the the off-Broadway production or the movie version that will probably follow.

Musical starts funny and stays funny throughout. Good story, great performances. My wife and I really enjoyed it. Note: Not for children or more sensitive viewers. If you cannot sit through a season of South Park, or Team America or Orgazmo without leaving the room in utter disgust, this play is not for you. If course language is not your cup of tea, maybe you should look into Fiddler. But if you can tolerate cursing and profuse innuendo, you will be rolling in the aisles.

I don't see theater shows ever, Male/Late 20's. I enjoyed the show, and thought it was flawlessly presented. However it was not edgy or extremely funny for my age group. For the middle age regular theater crowd I can see the gasp factor.

So while not as funny as I expected from the creators of South Park, it was still very enjoyable and would/have recommended it to others.
