Book of Mormon Musical Review

Yesterday i saw the hilarious musical “The Book of Mormon” which was written by the creators of South Park. The story tells the story of a pair of 18 year old Mormons who are sent on their mission as missionaries (One the Top of his class, and the other a complete dork who has no idea what he’s doing.), where they must spend two years helping people and spreading their religion. The thing is, the place chosen for them is Uganda. To make the situation worse, the village they go to in Uganda is ruled by a Ruthless Warlord who enjoys shooting people in the face.  The difference between the pure Mormons who go so far to avoid swearing that they say things like “bull-poop” and “OM-Gosh”. On the other side of the scale are the Africans, who are constantly dropping F-bombs and have the foulest mouths possible. At first look you may think that this musical is incredibly offensive, but the thing is, its only partially offensive, because its not like they show the Mormons as bad people. They do still mock their beliefs a little bit at times, but its not the the point where it was overly offensive. And the stories and things the Mormons preached where entirely accurate, since there were multiple Mormons in the original writing crew. I really have not laughed this hard at a musical in my whole life, it was just so gosh darn funny, i really couldn’t stop laughing. Especially when Jesus had the Cartman voice from south-park.

NOTE: This is not a musical for kids, it is very inappropriate, basically think, only let your kids watch this if you’d let them watch south park.
