The storyline traces the journey of two Mormon missionaries as they endeavor to spread their faith with the residents of a modest Ugandan community. Conceived by the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, as well as the record-breaking EGOT winner, Robert Lopez, the musical score is notable for garnering 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 aspects of the plot were somewhat adjusted back in 2021. Nonetheless, the concepts of friendship, faith, and hope, which surpass all religious beliefs, remain unchanged throughout the play.
In their assessment, The New York Daily News describes how The Book of Mormon is a production where you often find yourself laughing one minute and afterwards uncover your mouth agape the following, eventually tearing up and, finally, cheering for the primary singers. Writers Stone and Parker are well-known for their "take-no-prisoners, nothing-is-sacred method to comedy."
Furthermore, Lopez shows a skill for thumbing his nose at contemporary norms. As all three share credit for the script, songs, and words, this show can be described as "foolish, heartfelt, and extraordinarily impolite, while the score consistently upbeat and intelligent keeps the pages in this Book moving smoothly.”
The Eugene O'Neill Theatre is regarded as one of the top spots for sought-after Broadway shows in all of New York! Come the stage at New York for the ultimate viewing encounter of The Book of Mormon.
