Trey Parker and Matt Stone ("South Park") and Robert Lopez ("Avenue Q") have combined their creative powers in the new Broadway musical "The Book of Mormon." The politically incorrect, button-pushing production opened March 24 at the Eugene O’Neil Theatre to widespread critical accolades.
The new tuner is co-directed by Parker and Casey Nicholaw, who is also credited for choreography. The action follows two young Mormons, Elder Price (Andrew Rannells) and Elder Cunningham (Josh Gad) on a missionary trip to Uganda. Not all goes according to plan, as the duo deals with a tyrannical warlord and a village filled with less-than-willing would-be converts.
Other leads include Nikki M. James as Nabulungi, a girl from the village and the Mormons’ first convert, and Rory O’Malley as Elder McKinley, the Mormon head of the mission. An ensemble cast of Mormons and villagers rounds out the accolade-earning production.
"The Book of Mormon" is two-and-a-half hours long, including a 15-minute intermission. The musical’s schedule will change again on May 30, with evening shows then running Tuesday through Thursday at 7 p.m., and Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. The matinee schedule will also adjust to 3 p.m. on Friday and Sunday, and 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Here’s what the critics are saying about the Book of Mormon:
–”"The Book of Mormon” is the first musical to open on Broadway since “La Cage aux Folles” that has the smell of a send-in-the-tourists hit. Casey Nicholaw (“The Drowsy Chaperone”) has staged the musical numbers with cheery energy, and the cast, especially Nikki M. James, is terrific. But don’t let anybody try to tell you that “The Book of Mormon” is suitable for anyone other than 12-year-old boys who have yet to graduate from fart jokes to “Glee.” A couple of reasonably effective production numbers notwithstanding, it’s flabby, amateurish and very, very safe.” [Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal.]
–”Along with Robert Lopez, one of the uproarious brains behind “Avenue Q,” Matt Stone and Trey Parker have devised “The Book of Mormon,” the pricelessly entertaining act of musical-comedy subversion that opened Thursday night at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The mighty O’Neill himself would have to have given it up for this extraordinarily well-crafted musical assault on all things holy.” [Peter Marks, The Washington Post]
–”Teaming with Robert Lopez, who co-wrote the music and lyrics for Avenue Q, Parker and Stone have created one of the freshest original musicals in recent memory. It has tuneful songs, clever lyrics, winning characters, explosive laughs and disarmingly intimate moments. Religious zealots are not going to roll up, but the show manages to have a comic field day with Mormonism while simultaneously acknowledging – maybe even respecting – the right of everyone to follow any faith they choose. Or invent.” [David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter]
