What's The Book of Mormon about?
The Book of Mormon is a hilarious musical that premiered on Broadway in 2011 and won 9 Tony Awards. Its full almost every night in London and is considered one of the biggest hits of recent years.
Two naive Mormon missionaries (Elder Price and Elder Cunningham) are sent to a remote Ugandan village where a brutal warlord has the local population under his thumb. But the villagers are so preoccupied with famine, war, poverty and AIDS that they are reluctant to listen to the young Mormons' speeches. Their ideals will be challenged by the harshness of life and overwhelmed by events; they will begin to question their faith. But the values of generosity and fraternity they hold dear will allow for a very happy ending!
If there is a musical to be taken literally, it's The Book of Mormon. Totally mad, it remains a real American musical, with sets, choreography, and songs that stay in your head.
Why should you see The Book of Mormon?
The Book of Mormon is a musical worthy of the classics, with a traditional book: a rite of passage with a long-awaited happy ending. But its effective score and corrosive humour which makes this show so good. The creators, who are also behind the South Park series, had the genius to respect the rules of British and American musicals while injecting a good dose of humour (invoking Darth Vader in a play about the Mormons... it's daring!) The result is both surprising and terribly effective.
At the heart of it, The Book of Mormon is a true satire of religion. Nevertheless, the show remains resolutely optimistic by highlighting the positive ideals conveyed by the religion, such as aid, compassion and sharing. In short, the mockery, while very funny, remains good-natured and will not offend open-minded people.
The Book of Mormon is the ideal musical to see with friends!
