Rip roaring satirical fun

5/5

I really really enjoyed this show. The staging and effects for Book of Mormon are fantastic. The songs are fun and interesting with lots of layers in the lyrics moving through the cast. From other reviews it seems you either love it or hate it, but from my perspective if you think this is racist, bigoted or blasphemous then you've complete missed the point. Everything -everything is done with irony turned up to the max. This show shines a light on the making and acceptance of belief, be it having faith the someone finding gold plates or that you f**k babies to cure aids. The whole point is that people believe essentially whatever they've been told but maybe that's ok if the focus is kind, which is how in the end we finish with the book of Arnold. Like Southpark you have to move past the surface of what looks like a poo joke but is actually a very pertinent allegory.

Fantastically funny

I'd heard the buzz around the book of Mormon and some controversy but it is completely satirical and points fun against the sometimes ignorant world view of Africans. The songs were brilliant and catchy, great dance numbers, specifically one with a twist... Certain scenes were so funny I made a point to look around the room and literally saw people fall off seats, holding their sides laughing, it was fantastic, they received a 5-10 min standing ovation. Brilliant, would go back and see them elsewhere.

Ignore the bad reviews if you have a sense of humour

It’s as though people just go to see things without actually looking into whether it’s something that may be of interest to them. This show has been around for a long time now- you can see it was written by the makers of South Park and Avenue Q… that should tell you about the type of humour. The show is funny and original and the songs and choreography are amazing. If you want something tame and boring stick to Mama Mia.

Superb

The show was hilarious, genius and the production value was brilliant. Well worth the money. It was a standing ovation from the Glasgow audience.

This is the best musical the West End has ever seen. Mathilda a close second. Lion King haha no. Leave your hang ups and your bible at the door and just enjoy the comedic genius of these guys.

More more Mormon!

Laugh first and reflect afterwards…and you WILL laugh if you need to and let yourself. I feared that satire had been squeezed and stifled but here it is in all its edgy and incisive glory in wonderful songs, tetchy exchanges, facial expressions and nuanced interwoven cultural ‘morality’. If you don’t laugh at satire and see the world through a wokey lens, don’t bother going .. but if you are hungry for wicked humour and savage satire and are not easily offended then you’ll love it! Check your heart health first though, as laughing this hard puts a strain on it. Brilliant cast acting and singing their hearts out. I’m not a big musical fan so am selective, but we selected well with The Book of Mormon well worth the ticket price. Brilliant!
