The Book of Mormon Is Fantastic

...Keep him posted

I saw it a few years ago at the Seangar. It’s absolutely hilarious

Yeah they're pretty cool about. A few of them were outside of the Fox giving out their books. They even bought a page in the playbook

Because they are decent people. They literally have never harmed this nation and have actually been persecuted and run out of many states....they have provided a model of how to build a very strong society without many social ills and they get made fun of for it.

I think certain wards in NOLA, N. BR, Chicago, Appalachia, philly, etc are much more worthy of being made fun of than mormons.

I’m sure it’s the Mormons that cause the difference in poverty, crime rate, etc between Louisiana and Utah

Mormon values absolutely play a role in why the state is so successful. '

Even adjusting for lack of blacks, white society in Louisiana is still worse off on the social rankings than Utah.

I guess mormons are one of the few groups you can go after without being criticized for being bigoted or close minded.

You don't have to be closed minded or bigoted to think the actual Book of Mormon is funny.

And you can respect some of their values and still think the Book is bizarre.

Mormons aren't fragile African Americans, or gays that can't be held up to any criticisms.

I've had the music CD for a while and have watched South Park forever.
All that said, I hadn't expected to reach my yearly f**k total in one night.
Some of the songs have become earworms, not a good thing to be singing around certain family members.

I had a really odd feeling early in the first act. I traveled a lot for business and often was in Salt Lake City. Some of the flights to SLC I was sitting next to young men on their way home after two years as missionaries. I remembered one who talked about how he hoped his Grandfather would be well enough to be at the airport. Well, the grin that engulfed his face when he saw his Grandfather and the rest of his family (I counted twenty) was one of the most heartwarming things I've ever seen.

Seeing the prancing boy chorus....I just hope that somehow they realize that families still exist and are very happy, because Book of really avoided that side of the story.

"Baptize Me" is great and relatively benign.

Did you have any walkouts? First time we went, there was an old couple that made it through "Hasa Diga Eebowai" but left during another song, maybe "Turn It Off".
