Book of Mormon – West End

Two Mormon missionaries are sent to Africa in this acclaimed comedy musical from the Creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Created with the composer and lyricist Robert Lopez (‘Avenue Q’), The Book of Mormon is a tongue-in-cheek, bad-taste comedy that treads a fine line in offensive humour. It picked up nine Tony Awards on Broadway before arriving in the West End in 2013.

Elder Kevin Price is a dedicated follower of the Mormon faith, well-schooled in the religion’s door-knocking (‘Hello), who hopes to be sent to Florida to complete his mission for the Church of the Latter-day Saints. However, paired with the hapless, insecure slacker Elder Arnold Cunningham, he finds himself ordered to Uganda to convert new followers. Dutifully, Elder Price aims to make the best of the situation. The world has other ideas.

On arrival, the pair are robbed by General GBFN soldiers, a local warlord who terrorises locals and dictates mass genital mutilations at random. Needless to say, the Mormons haven’t had much success and Elder Price quickly grows disillusioned. The villagers have long been so and they have a song for that: ‘Hasa Diga Eebowai.’ It means, ‘Fuck You, God.’

However, Elder Cunningham’s fantastical, milk-and-honey promises – mostly made up on the spot and twisting Mormonism with pop culture and science fiction – start winning them around. To win conversions, however, the Mormons have to take on the general himself and Price, spotting an opportunity, tries to convert him to the church – only to wind up in the hospital wing with a holy book in an unholy place.

When the villagers come to enact their understanding of Mormonism for the head of the mission, their version of its founding myth is riddled with errors and distortions – mistakes that see the mission wound up. What Elder Price realises, however, is that the spirit of the church has cut through in Elder Cunningham’s efforts, even if its exact details haven’t. For the villagers, however, Mormonism is a metaphor, not a literal truth – and Arnold Cunningham is the only Latter-Day Saint they need.

Cynical and spoofish throughout, not to mention wilfully outrageous, The Book of Mormon pokes as much fun at the musical theatre form and its feel-good factor as it does at the Mormon faith itself. That, arguably, is what has made it such a success: it applies its satire even-handedly and affectionately. No one escapes ridicule. Book your Book of Mormon Tickets today!

Took partner for their birthday even though they hate musicals and they said they’re now converted if they’re all like that. I belly laughed, snorted and cried at the hilarity of this show! Some parts I was so confused because the singing was incredible but the content of the songs they were singing was utterly stupid 🤣 Honestly I would go back in a heartbeat to watch this again. The cast were incredible, the whole thing was just amazing and worth every penny! read less

I laughed so hard at how vulgar and tragic the plotline was, I couldn't see what was going on half of the time through tears of laughter. Amazing cast, an awesome set and would 100% love to watch it again, I would recommend anybody to go and watch it but bare in mind it was written a while ago and by the creators of South Park who actually don't give an F. Awesome show. read less

This musical upsets nearly every demographic on planet earth but that is the point. If you like South Park and their sense of humour then you will love this show. It is not for the faint of heart and if you love the big man upstairs and go to all the god squad meetings on Sunday, then this show is not for you. If you want to be shocked, laugh out loud and have a good old fashioned poke at certain subjects.. you remember those days before everyone got offended for you not be offended then this is a show for you. One of the last bastions of throwing the rule book out of the window and smacking the ‘woke’ ones on their heads as you lob it… read less

Deeply un-funny, we are supposed to be amused by a blasphemous portrayal of missionaries and a hideous racist slur on people from Uganda who are portrayed as a savage, scruffy, stupid, gun-toting, aids-ridden nation keen on FGM and baby-raping. Baffled that the talented cast can take part in such an excruciatingly awful production. The Emperor has no clothes people! DO NOT GO! read less

Why would anyone want to see a musical about Mormans… One day I saw a clip of it, a short clip of one of the songs & I was gripped. I needed to see it and boy I was not disappointed. I went with some family members, including my mum & we did not stop laughing. This is hands down the best (non Disney) musical I’ve seen, it’s going to take a lot to beat it. I’m shocked to see recent negative reviews calling it awful, I can only guess that those people did not have the dark sense of humour this show probably requires. I’ve watched the occasional episode of South Park in my time, I wouldn’t call myself an avid South Park fan but you can tell BOM is written by the creators. I did no research into the show (other than the clip I saw) so it’s no surprise I was baffled why the main character was giving me Olaf from Frozen vibes… if you know you know. This just shows how much effort the actors put into their character. I’d recommend highly to anyone over 18 that is not easily offended. In fact I’d go to see it again with different people as it’s that high on my recommendation list. read less
