The plot follows the tale of two Mormon proselytizers as they work to share their faith with the residents of a tiny Ugandan settlement. Developed by the makers of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, along with the record-breaking EGOT winner, Robert Lopez, the musical score is famous for receiving its very own Tony Award.
In reply to pleas from cast members to review the depiction of black characters in light of issues about racial equality, a couple of lyrics and aspects of the narrative were marginally altered back in 2021. Nonetheless, the concepts of friendship, faith, and hope, which surpass all faiths, persist consistent during the performance.
In their evaluation, The New York Daily News describes how The Book of Mormon is a show where you frequently catch yourself laughing one minute and then uncover your mouth agape the next, ultimately tearing up and, eventually, applauding for the main singers. Writers Stone and Parker are notorious for their "take-no-prisoners, nothing-is-sacred approach to humor."
Moreover, Lopez demonstrates a talent for thumbing his nose at current norms. As all three share credit for the book, songs, and lyrics, this production can be characterized as "foolish, heartfelt, and exceptionally impolite, while the score consistently lively and intelligent keeps the acts in this Book turning effortlessly.”
The Eugene O'Neill Theatre is considered one of the prime venues for popular Broadway productions in all of New York! Drop by the performance area at New York for the ultimate viewing experience of The Book of Mormon.
