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