THE BOOK OF MORMONTHE SHOW

From the creators of South Park, a hilariously irreverent musical about two mismatched Mormon missionaries sent to a remote village in Uganda. Satirizes religion, colonialism, and musical theater itself.

I haven't laughed that hard in public since... maybe ever. I had to explain to the couple next to me that I was okay, I was just crying from laughing.

James, and Rory O'Malley reunited in June for 'Magical Mormon Mystery Week,' breaking the Eugene O'Neill house record and reminding Broadway that this South Park creation still has enormous star power when it wants to deploy it.
