MUSICAL
BY RACHAEL CARNES
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Get thee to the Hult for The Book of Mormon, the biggest musical of the year
F
rom the creative team at South Park that brought
you “Mister Hankey the Christmas Poo” comes The
Book of Mormon, a brash send-up of Joseph Smith,
the Church of Latter Day Saints and even theater
itself.
Heralded as “the best musical of this century” by
the notoriously unforgiving New York Times critic Ben
Brantley, this show dominated the Tony Awards when it
premiered in 2011. Mormon has been motoring along
ever since, with touring productions reaching deeper into
the hinterland — even playing Salt Lake City! — as a
juggernaut carried on waves of ribald comedy and biting
satire.
The show features a book, lyrics and music by Trey
Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone. Lopez is one of
the composers and lyricists for the immeasurably popular
Avenue Q as well as its G-rated cousin Frozen. Parker and
Stone are the infamous creators of South Park — the late-
night animated show that has skewered everyone, from
Jesus Christ to Satan, through deliciously juvenile parody.
So why not research and develop a show around
Mormonism? What could possibly go wrong?
In fact, a lot went right. After nearly seven years in
development, The Book of Mormon burst onto Broadway
in 2011, garnering nine Tony Awards, including Best
Musical, as well as a Grammy for Best Musical Theater
Album.
The show centers on a strapping young missionary,
Elder Kevin Price, whose devotion leads him to convert
souls to Mormonism. Price and his classmates at the

THE HEART OF HUMANITY IS WISE
Jeff W. Ryder
LDS Church Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah,
practice ringing doorbells — so, so many doorbells. With
their crisp, white button-down shirts, black trousers and
absurdly perfect haircuts, these young recruits proselytize
their hearts out and then pray, not for lost souls, but for
a two-year mission to someplace good, like Orlando.
(When these prayers aren’t answered, Price and his hapless
mission cohort, Elder Arnold Cunningham, are shipped off
to Uganda instead.)
Uganda proves a far cry from Disneyworld, but Price
is determined to teach the locals about Joseph Smith.
Unfortunately for Price, the locals are, shall we say,
resistant. And his colleague Cunningham, who has never
actually read the Book of Mormon, isn’t much help at all.
Mirth ensues.
Nutty, profane and ridiculously funny, Book of Mormon
is that rare gem: From toe-tapping musical numbers to a
script that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this show
has it all.
