The Book Of Mormon (2011)

Musical van de makers van South Park, op Broadway een doorslaand succes en in 2013 in Europa te zien. De musical steekt de draak met georganiseerde religie en Mormonen in het bijzonder. "...but the big surprise was that The Book of Mormon is packed with as much respect as it is with disrespect. The disrespect is directed at organized religion while all the respect is given to the Musical Comedy genre. These bright, lively melodies are singalongs in the best American musical tradition. Instead of parodying the format, Stone, Parker and Lopez absolutely revel in it, but the will to do good in the name God isnt so safe or sacred. Our storys heroes are Mormon missionaries who are sent to Uganda. Upon arrival, their reaction of Oh Boy! Like Lion King is turned on its head as they have to deal with the harsh reality of things like female circumcision. And yet these shock tactics are surrounded with build-up, character development, and much safer humor thats all equally entertaining." (David Jeffries, Allmusic)
