The Book of Mormon (Touring) Tickets

Not for prudes or zealots. Almost belongs Off-Broadway. Superb talented leads & uplifting backup . Music & humour abound.

Very impressed, much that is good, but the portrayal of Uganda/Africans never rose above the worst of stereotypes. A critic named Hassan Malik was, I think, correct in saying that "criticism of religion, however constructive, satirical or well intentioned, ( lulls ) an otherwise progressive audience into passivity on the issue of racism. It is as if it is considered a worthy sacrifice to the critique of religion." I guess you could think of it as a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" format, the black characters are cartoon stereotypes and Uganda is "Toontown" (an imaginary place that does not and cannot exist). It's still worth seeing as a satire and a parody of religion and of some religious attitudes and also perhaps a parody of the toothlessness of other recent Broadway musical offerings.

The only reason I didn't give five stars was because, although I could hear every word, sometimes I couldn't distinguish the lyrics in a group number. Some people were offended by the language and left the theatre. That being said, I giggled from the first moment, loved the music and costumes and thought the roles were particularly well cast. Having lived several years in Africa, there were some right on the button insights.

Great singng and dancing. We laughed and had such a great time, from beginning to end.in fact, it went way too fast. There seems to have been some. Issues with the sound at times, where it was too low. This took away from the power of the song "I believe".

I've scene a few musicals both in Ottawa and on Broadway and by far, this is the best! I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an entertaining evening full of laughs .

This was one of the best performances of any kind that I have ever seen. The singing and dancing was amazing. The personality of the performers shone through.....it seemed like they were having the best time of their lives! I am familiar with "South Park" and had read a bit about the musical prior to going, so the swearing and leud gestures was not shocking to me..... in fact I felt it was quite appropriate. And FUNNY!!! I cannot believe how funny the Book of Moron was. The two male leads were amazing. The female lead had the most beautiful voice. I hope Trey Parker and Matt Stone continue to write. I was absolutely entertained and would highly recommend The Book of Mormon.

Even more over the top than I expected, great cast, great sound .

The choreography and the songs were really good, the performers did a superb job as well. However, for something that Matt Stone and Trey Parker came up with, it wasn't really all that funny. I'm kind of disappointed I spent so much on a ticket. Oh well, what can you do.

The sound was off. I believe it was too loud and as a result some to the words were not clear. I thought the whole story line was bad bad bad. I felt that it was an insult to the Ugandan people. The name of the rebel general was not funny but stupid. I don t mind profanity in a show but the F word was not used at the appropriate time. The singing and dancing were alright

In typical Trey and Matt style this show hit all the required comedy elements you'd expect from this hilariously intelligent duo. Thanks for keeping me laughing so many years later! Hasa Diga eeBowai!

EXCELLENT ! Great Musical numbers and all the Leads were very strong in singing and dancing. I keep telling people I work with to find any seat avalable before it leaves town and attend this very Funny show !!

I thoroughly enjoyed The Book of Mormon, although in recommending to friends/family, I would have to carefully consider the values and opinions of the person. This play is, as my review title states, an equal opportunity offender, speaking to so many prejudices, religions, beliefs, myths, etc. It is all about shock value which is no less than one would expect from the writers. However, if you can get past the gasps every time you are astounded at the boldness with which they hit on taboo subjects, you will enjoy a very amusing and energetic show. Not being particularly religious, I was absolutely entertained at all of the shock value and could only imagine the faces of several people I know had they been in attendance. The music was great and the audience seemed to really enjoy it.

This was a last minute decision, and didn't know what to expect. I was pleasingly surprised. Haven't laughed that much in a long time. Great scenario, songs and dances. Great cast.

After all the hype, I must say I was disappointed in this production. The approach to the subject matter seemed to trivialize the recent history of Uganda. The attempts to shock with language and image were, in my opinion, just vulgar. I cannot imagine how a Ugandan would feel watching this play. The ridicule of the Mormon religious beliefs - well - I guess that was the point. On the positive side, the sets were fabulous. The cast was energetic, although the songs seemed indistinct from any other popular musical of the last 15 years. I didn't come away humming anything.

The music was catchy and the dancing was very funny. All in all I enjoyed the show.

Love the show. 2nd time I've seen it. Good production. Pity the sound was so muffled that we missed much of the very witty dialogue. talked to others and they agreed - didn't seem to matter where you sat, the speech was not clear

Hard to explain it. Have to see it yourself. The music was great and the dancing was awesome. I laughed from the beginning through the end. So funny.

I'd go again and again if I could afford it! It was miraculous.

I loved every moment of this play...It got my attention from the beginning to the end. Very well done.

Crude, but clever and funny. We loved it. Music was good, and the acting was terrific.
