Things I Remember From Seeing The Book Of Mormon A Few Months Ago

I saw The Book of Mormon on Broadway a few months ago. If I tell people that, they’ll always be like, “Oh! What did you think?!” This is what I think.

• Definitely get someone else to buy tickets for you.
• There’s a lot of singing in musicals. Like, most of the time I’d say.
• The characters don’t all talk in South Park voices.
• Every mormon boy in the world is insanely fit except for Elder Cunningham.
• A lot of the performers have comedy-related backgrounds.
• The dudes who play mormon boys are like 57 years old, so theater is more about musical talent than accuracy.
• There are many jokes in it.
• Mormons wear weird pajamas.
• The “The Book of Mormon” props they use on stage are all filled with blank pages – it is a ruse. Here’s an idea: put the script in there. Whoa. You’re welcome, Broadway.
• There’s lots of AIDS in Uganda.
• Typically, there are two main acts in a Broadway musical.
• After Act I, I was like “This is the best thing I’ve ever seen in the entire world.”
• After Act II, I was like “That was pretty good.”
• It’s a satire of a musical that’s still totally a musical, i.e. it’s guilty of things it’s trying to satirize sometimes.
• I liked it.
