"The Book of Mormon debuted only 15 years ago but has already become one of the longest-running Broadway shows of all time, not to mention one of the most clever, profane and subversive. It's certainly the only musical to satirize religion, poverty, guerilla warfare, AIDS and female mutilation."
"The story is about two young, naive missionaries from Utah whose plan to convert people in Uganda into Mormons, but it doesn't go as planned. It won nine Tonys and made stars out of original cast members Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells."
The Book of Mormon is a satirical musical created by Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez that premiered 15 years ago and has become one of Broadway's longest-running productions. The show follows two naive young missionaries from Utah attempting to convert people in Uganda to Mormonism, though their mission encounters significant obstacles. Known for its clever, profane, and subversive humor, the musical uniquely satirizes religion, poverty, guerrilla warfare, AIDS, and female mutilation. The production won nine Tony Awards and launched the careers of original cast members Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells. Performances continue through March 8 at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.
