Why to watch ‘The Book of Mormon’ musical?

The Book of Mormon is a satirical Musical comedy whose peculiar story revolves around the religious group of Mormons, also known as the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From the madcap creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, The Book of Mormon, is a musical which promises a night full of humour and best quality entertainment. Songwriter Robert Lopez (the co-composer/co-lyricist of Avenue Q) has co-created the music which is undeniably brilliant. This hilarious musical achieved a roaring success in Broadway and premiered in the West End in 2013. Since then the tickets have sold out like anything. Running at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London, The Book of Mormon Tickets can be conveniently booked online at Box Office Theatre.

 

The story is about two Mormon missionaries who are on a ‘mission’ to Uganda to propagate their religious beliefs. They try to persuade the inhabitants of a remote Ugandan village to follow Mormonism but the locals are simply not keen as they are loaded with other troubles such as AIDS, famine, poverty and oppression from a despotic warlord. The missionaries are shown as loveable characters, though they are idiotic in nature, and they mistakenly believe that they can persuade the poor people to convert through polite behaviour. In the process, the two missionaries experience some absurd adventures.

The musical is edgy, sometimes outrageous, digs potshots at Mormonism and pokes fun at everything- religion, consumerism, and economy. This show has excellent music, memorable songs, and wonderful dances while showing the absurdities of Mormon dogma without ever being mean and cruel, though the language is explicit and profane at many times. It gives an insight into the life of Mormons in an uncanny way which has the audience breaking into peals of laughter. If you are looking for some crass humour, then buy your tickets for The Book of Mormon right away.

The musical has got many awards to its credit; it swept the 2011 Tony Awards with 9 wins, won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album and also boasts of 4 Olivier Awards. It has been dubbed as the ‘The Best Musical of the Century’ and is warped in humour, wit, and laughter. The cast delivers perfectly, the action is faultless, the story is cleverly written, the choreography is wonderful and the orchestra is simply great. No doubt it wins a standing ovation in the end. It’s the stuff legends are made of. Don’t miss it! Buy your online tickets for The Book of Mormon at www.boxofficetheatre.com.
