The storyline traces the journey of two Mormon evangelists as they endeavor to share their faith with the locals of a tiny Ugandan community. Crafted by the makers of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, in addition to the record-breaking Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony winner, Robert Lopez, the musical score is famous for earning its very own Tony Award.
In response to appeals from actors to reexamine the portrayal of black characters in light of issues about racial justice, a couple of lyrics and points of the plot were slightly modified back in 2021. Nonetheless, the themes of friendship, faith, and hope, which transcend all faiths, remain consistent throughout the performance.
In their review, The New York Daily News portrays how The Book of Mormon is a show where you frequently find yourself laughing one moment and afterwards discover your mouth agape the subsequent, finally tearing up and, finally, cheering for the lead singers. Writers Stone and Parker are well-known for their "take-no-prisoners, nothing-is-sacred technique to comedy."
Additionally, Lopez shows a talent for thumbing his nose at current conventions. As all three share credit for the book, music, and words, this performance can be labeled as "foolish, heartfelt, and remarkably impolite, while the score uniformly upbeat and clever keeps the acts in this Book moving seamlessly.”
The Eugene O'Neill Theatre is regarded as one of the top locations for in-demand Broadway productions in the whole New York! Visit the performance area at New York for the optimal viewing event of The Book of Mormon.
