A particular dialog
"The performers were all amazing. Very talented!!! As risqué as it was, which was not a problem for me, I was extremely disturbed by the dialog involving babies. That is the only part I wish had been removed. I really don’t see where that needs to be included"

Really funny unless you're offended
"Funny silly show if you don't mind jokes being sometimes crude. Some people will find it offensive, but it's kind of hard to tell ahead without spoilers. The music is good but not memorable. Really enjoyable the first time, I can't imagine there are many in the audience that have seen it before. "

Irreverent Look
"The play was good and the cast is great. The theatre is very small and the seats are uncomfortable which dampers enthusiasm a bit. great play but not for the easily offended."

Hoho or hohum
"This show was not my cup of tea. To me, a 73 yo white female, it seemed dated. A lot of its humor was meant to come from shock but frankly what was meant to be shocking is so old school, ho-hum now. And repeating a shocking line multiple times ( like “I have maggots in my scrotum” ) doesn’t make it funnier it just makes it seem more desperate for a laugh. The volume was too loud (set off my watch alarm for high decibels twice). I couldn’t understand many of the lines, maybe because they were being delivered with an over exaggerated accent.
I did like the dancing and some of the acting. But, unfortunately, it wasn’t my kind of humor. I don’t think of Mormons as simpletons. To me the part of their world that was never touched upon in the play is actually quite scary."

Talented actors
"I thought the actors and vocals were amazing, incredibly talented. I gave it a 3 star review based on my preference for entertainment, I found parts of it funny but overall not my kind of show in terms of humor (ie too much sexual humor)"

Very funny, but tipping the scale on vulgarity at times.
"I have heard of the play for years, and was pleased with the opportunity to see it on Broadway. The performance was filled with very talented actors, and were a pleasure to watch. All and all my wife and I found the show very entertaining and funny; and are glad we saw it. I knew this show would contain lots of profanity, sexual humor, etc. With that said, we were a little taken back by the level of vulgarity a couple of times.
Again, overall thoroughly enjoyed the performance and most of the humor. "

Unnecessarily vulgar
"The musical was good; however, it was fairly vulgar. We enjoyed the parts where the morons were on screen but when they were in Uganda, it was extremely vulgar. We had a teen with us and she thought it was too much for her and unfortunately we left at the second half. It’s our fault that we should have read the reviews before we went but we had heard really good things about the show and had wanted to see it. "

Not what I expected
"I know Trey Parker and Matt Stone have a no holds bar attitude when it comes to comedy but the one part that really bothered me was the part about having sex with a baby, THAT WASN'T NECESSARY. They crossed the line. I'm not a prude by any means but when it comes to children, they are sacred, rape of a child or anyone is funny. I totally enjoyed the rest of the show, even parts that made me cringe. The baby part made me angry."

Too irreverent and vulgar.
"This musical showed a patent disregard for decorum. It was exceedingly vulgar and replete with offensive language. It was discordant in nature. There were a few funny lines, but not enough to offset the disturbing language directed toward God or the overemphasized focus on swearing throughout. "

Middle school humor for adults
"I am not a fan of the TV show South Park, so that should have been a warning sign. The humor to me sounds like it would only be funny to middle schoolers or suburban house wives that want to feel edgy. Some of the performers were pitchy when hitting their notes. Maybe I am just not a fan of musicals though..."

Unnecessarily offensive
"The dance and vocal numbers were technically very good - the actors did their parts well however, there were many parts I felt went way over the line. I have spoken to people who had seen this play several years ago and they do not recall some of the content I described. Having sex with a baby...too much! Had I known all of this I absolutely would not have come. Do not recommend this for anyone of faith or sensitive conscience. "

More respectful of Mormonism than of Africa and Uganda
"I went in knowing what to expect regarding satirizing Mormonism and crudeness; I actually thought the writing re that was smart and funny. I felt the portrayal of the people of Uganda as tools to present that satire was purely offensive. Performances were well acted and sung, a dream sequence was pretty amazing. "

Too offensively portrayed.
"Acting, singing, choreography was very good.
Subject matter, raunchy images portrayed were very offensive and could have been much more subtly portrayed. This would have made the message about injustice in Uganda much more powerful, ironically."

Difficult material at times.
"I thought the actors performance was astounding and they had great vocal range when singing. I don’t think that some of the story material made sense.
I’m also not a fan of making fun of or poking fun at real issues pertaining to certain ethnic groups, nor religious groups. With that said I hope those actors perform in other plays that I would greatly support with better theatrical content."

It's a revival meeting morality play with music and dancing
"The tunes are catchy, the show was campy (think Disney World stage production). It's basically a revival meeting (think Gemstones) meets traditional bible themed morality. The theater patrons we encountered applauded enthusiastically, so it clearly has appeal for some audiences. The singing and dancing were very good. My problem lies with the basic story. This show is not for everyone. If you are looking for deep performances, acting, writing, this is not it. The show's superficiality is worn on its sleeve."

"I have been excited to see this show for a while. It was just stupid. We left at intermission. It was gay innuendo after gay innuendo. Also- oooooh let’s say bad words because we’re so cool and edgy. It was just dumb. I had high expectations because o laughed my butt off at the South Park episode making fun of Mormons but this was just flat out idiotic in my opinion. "

About
The Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon follows two young missionaries who are sent to Uganda to try to convert citizens to the Mormon religion. One missionary, Elder Price, is an enthusiastic go-getter with a strong dedication to his faith, while his partner, Elder Cunningham, is a socially awkward but well meaning nerd whose tendency to embroider the truth soon lands him in trouble. Upon their arrival in Africa, Elders Price and Cunningham learn that in a society plagued by AIDS, poverty and violence, a successful mission may not be as easy as they expected.
