  • Book of Mormon

    by Rubyfoo on 2014-07-28National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 2 out of 5

    To be honest, we were disappointed after reading such rave reviews everywhere. We found the first act didn't spark any laughter at all. The acting, singing, and special effects were all very well done and appreciated for their high quality but the humour did not resonate for us. It was generally too crude and over the top in both the language and focus and not very appealing to us and our friends who went. This type of humour seems to lack what we personally enjoy....nothing witty or clever, only in-your-face, extremely crude jokes, language and innuendos. The very loud music and sound system made it difficult to hear everything clearly...we heard that from others, too. Great job by the actors and stage crew, though.

    No reflection on the talent of the actors but this production was disgusting. It is a sad indication of what today's culture calls humour. I am no prude but I found this in very poor taste

    The cast did an excellent job, especially Cunningham, he owned it and stole the show!

  • This musical is AMAZING

    by Orlandude on 2014-07-27National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 5 out of 5

    if you take it a certain way it can be offensive but if you just forget about a moment and just think of it's laughing and just get lost in probably one of the most hilarious things you will see in your life. Not only is it very funny it has fantastic sets, amazing dance numbers, and a fantastic soundtrack to match the excellence of the rest of the show. If you have the chance to see this DO NOT miss it is my second favourite musical of all time. It is one of the greatest things you can see in your life.

  • Book of Mormon

    by glamourpuss on 2014-07-26National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 5 out of 5

    What a fabulous show. Beats all the misucals I have seen live. Would't buy the cd of the music (not like Camelot, etc.) because it doesn't translate to "listening music", but a very funny and at times thought provoking show... and I am not even a South PArk fan!

  • Lot's to laugh about

    by McCheeze on 2014-07-26National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 4 out of 5

    A good performance. Entertaining and irreverent...but you know that going in.

  • Book of Mormon was incredible!

    by pezz on 2014-07-26National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 5 out of 5

    The show was fantastic from beginning to end. No song or scene that was tedious. Laughs that while they certainly lampooned the Mormon religion, didn't feel mean spirited. (Of course perhaps a Mormon would disagree). Nyk Bielak was beyond superb in his role as Elder Cunningham.

  • The book of mormon was funny

    by Arpantzo on 2014-07-26Nac - OttawaRating: 4 out of 5

    I love the whole show from the start to the end. The music and dancing was great. However, the sound was not clear. It seems like it's a little too loud, so the words weren't heard properly or the sound seems breaking up. From reading other reviews, it doesn't seem to matter of where you sit. Love the show though.

  • Very Funny Show!

    by Reilly on 2014-07-26National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 4 out of 5

    Really enjoyed The Book of Mormon performance at the NAC. It was really entertaining and a laugh a minute. The cast was very good, especially the actor who portrayed Arnold. Would definitely recommend.

  • Amazing!

    This musical is so fun. I laughed a lot during the performance. The songs are very good.

  • brilliant show

    by Anonymous on 2014-07-26National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 4 out of 5

    Great show. Trey parker and matt stone are brillianr. The acoustics at the NAC were disappointing though. It was difficult to make out the lyrics a lot of the time and the volume was often alternating between too high and too low.

  • A laugh a minute/ second

    by april12 on 2014-07-25National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 5 out of 5

    never stopped laughing, great actors and signing/dancing was great. Would not recommend to someone who is very religious.

  • The Book of Mormon was a BIG disappointment.

    There was great talent in the cast. What a shame since the content was offensive. What a waste of my time and money too!

  • Book Of Mormon was FANTASTIC

    by 2spookie on 2014-07-25National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 5 out of 5

    This was the second time we saw this play-last year in Toronto and this year at the NAC with a different cast.. .Both were fantastic- our seats at NAC were great -GG three rows back. The acting, singing, lighting, and dancing were outstanding. We have seen top shows on Broadway and this performance was as good as any of those.

  • Exceeded all expectations!!

    Hillariously funny! I laughed until I cried. Would see it again in a minute!

    Book of Mormons was hilarious and entertaining - great performance

  • The Book of Mormon AKA Pure Entertainment

    by QOAT on 2014-07-25National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 4 out of 5

    What a great show! From the very beginning until the very end, I was laughing - as was everyone else in the theatre. Very clever, well written, great music, beautiful voices. I have already told several people about this fabulous joyful entertaining show.

  • Close but no cigar

    by Dogwhisperer on 2014-07-24National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 4 out of 5

    Professional props and excellent use of them. Balance between orchestra and singers now adjusted correctly. Story line fun but not too insulting to religion. All singers had good voices. Acting at a professional level as expected at this price. A major defect however was the quality of the sound system as it sounded like the siungs were coming from the bottom of a barrel which made it extremely difficult to catch all the words and thus missed at lot of the jokes.

  • Irreverent and hilarious!

    by ErinC on 2014-07-24National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 5 out of 5

    I would absolutely recommend this show to anyone - as long as you don't have an aversion to strong language! Hilarious, irreverent, and clever.

  • Totally politically incorrect but awesome

    by Barrhavenqueen on 2014-07-23National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 5 out of 5

    The Book of Mormon is a must see. Laughing from start to end! Dance, music, comedy - all in one!
