Book of Mormon Matinee – Ticket only

Not for the easily offended!!

The Book of Mormon follows the story of two young Mormon missionaries, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, working to spread the word of the Latter Day Saints to the locals in a small town in Uganda. The LDS church members realise how daunting their task is when they discover the villagers are more concerned with the AIDS epidemic, oppression, and starvation.

Anyone familiar with South Park or the work of Trey Parker and Matt Stone would know that The Book of Mormon can get rather bawdy and crass at times! That being said, despite Parker and Stone’s in-your-face subject matter, the musical never received a backlash from members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. In fact, the Mormon Church even stated the musical may be “entertaining for a day”, while also going on to add that “the book is always better” when it comes to theatrical adaptations.
