Theatre Review : The Book of Mormons

The Book of Mormons is a hilarious musical running on Broadway currently. This play is already a hit, the ticket waitlist runs for months! Somehow we managed to get tickets for it, after standing in a queue for two hours, but it was definitely worth it!

The play traces the adventures of two Mormons, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, who are sent to Uganda to convert the locals to Mormonism. What ensues is a riot of events, ups and downs, like encounters with the military General and so on, leading on to Elder Cunningham teaching a modified version of Mormonism to the locals to get them to convert.

The jokes are hilarious and sometimes downright slapstick. But nowhere do they cross the line. And the play does end with a positive note, a religion is what solves the people's problems and helps them keep the faith. That's what's most important...

The acting was good. The dances and songs well crafted. The story and dialogues funny. A true and fun entertainer, a must-watch!
