Irreverent and Insanely Funny – Book of Mormon Hits All the Right Notes

It’s been called the “funniest musical of all time.” Jon Stewart referred to it as “a crowning achievement.” “The Book of Mormon,” brainchild of “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and co-writer, Robert Lopez features their trademark potty-mouth, snarky sense of humor wrapped around a charmingly sweet story worthy of the title “musical comedy.” Ever since the show opened on Broadway, it’s been on the list of must-see stage shows, and the 9 Tony awards under its belt simply reaffirm that critics love it as much as the audiences. “The Book of Mormon” is now playing in cities around the country, but tickets can go fast for this top Broadway musical, so check our listings frequently for updated availability of Book of Mormon tickets in cities near you.

Adult Night Out

The over-the-top scatological humor and smirking irreverence that make Book of Mormon such a hit also mean this is definitely not a show for kids. The sheer exuberance of the musical numbers and the underlying message about the power of goodness make this more than a snark at religion and the religious, though. While The Book of Mormon is not for the faint of heart or the easily scandalized, those who can take the heat will find a deeper message among the bawdy, close-to-sacrilegious pokes and jibes. Just like South Park, Book of Mormon points out the absurdities and awfulness of life, holds them up to ridicule and leaves you thinking even as you’re howling with laughter and whistling the familiar tunes of the score.

The Book of Mormon Reviews

Don’t take our word for it. The Book of Mormon has scored heartfelt accolades from theater critics across the spectrum. It’s been called raunchy, hilarious, slick and impossibly well put together. The humor has been referred to as irreverent, sacrilegious, skewering and scathing. It’s a top-flight comedic send up of not just the vagaries of organized religion but of the conventions of big time Broadway musicals and of humanity and civilization in general. In short, there’s more than enough snark to go around. If you really want to be offended, you’ll find something to offend you.

If, on the other hand, you like your philosophy well-leavened with irreverence and served up with a healthy side helping of hilarity, this is one show you don’t want to miss.
