THE BOOK OF MORMON

ELLIE CAULKINS OPERA HOUSE: 6/14 - 7/7

              

                                                          Kevin Clay 

With a firm grip on the funny bone, this evening of theatre has a little something to offend everyone.

       Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, joined forces with Robert Lopez of AVENUE Q fame in 2011, to create the Broadway phenomenon, THE BOOK OF MORMON.

       Nominated for 14 Tony Awards, the show won 9, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Score.

        Like Rabelais and Swift, Parker and Stone are masters of the art of satire. Unsavory and in extremely bad taste, the bald Truth gets told with relish, and hypocrisy gleefully eviscerated. 

      The cast, led by Kevin Clay (Elder Price) and  Conner Peirson (Elder Cunningham), is all exuberant talent, and yes, poignantly heart-opening warmth. (Need your heart opened? These kids have just the right crow bar!!!)

     Heavenly Father won’t mind if you pee your pants laughing at this universally acclaimed masterpiece. THE BOOK OF MORMON will leave you helpless with laughter.

      p.s. It’s even better the second time around.
