For me, the best moment built within the musical was the one with the motif of turning off the light when you want to hide a feeling. It was perfectly constructed — starting from amusement and satire, then blending beautifully with the music, and later with the stage effect of turning the lights off and on at every click made by the performers, leading up to the tap dance and costume changes.
It’s a musical that highlights how powerful faith in something greater than man can be, but also how ridiculous it can become in other situations, when it’s used merely to preach something you don’t fully understand.

The Book of Mormon in London is a boundary-breaking musical comedy that blends biting satire with heartfelt storytelling. Written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone alongside Robert Lopez (Frozen, Avenue Q), the show opened on Broadway in 2011 and became an instant cultural phenomenon. The show features a strong ensemble, bold direction, and a soundtrack full of earworms like “I Believe” and “Hasa Diga Eebowai.” Underneath its sharp humour, the musical explores themes of faith, purpose, and friendship. Its irreverent tone may not suit everyone, but its smart writing and emotional core have won over audiences and critics alike, making it one of the most influential musicals of the 21st century.
Storyline
Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, two young Mormon missionaries, are paired together and sent on their mission to Uganda. While Elder Price dreams of sunny Orlando, the duo instead find themselves in a rural village plagued by disease, warlords, and despair. As they attempt to spread their message, cultural clashes and personal revelations push them beyond what their training prepared them for. The Book of Mormon in London bring you a sharply funny, occasionally shocking, but ultimately thoughtful story about belief, community, and the stories we tell to make sense of our world. Will their faith survive the realities they face, or be rewritten in unexpected ways?

I shamefully admit, that I haven't seen many musicals yet. "The Book of Mormon" was the third I ever saw on stage (I'm not counting musical movies here). So take my review with a grain of salt. There's sugar too, though. Before "the Book of Mormon" , I wouldn't have considered myself a musical-Fan. I watched them with my girlfriend, a is a job of a loving man. This time was different. "The Book of Mormon" made me realize the beauty of musicals on stage. It truly was an outstanding experience!

One of the BEST productions of BOM. Every memeber of the cast shines an the show was tight and energized. Would watch it again immediately after th final bows if I could. Seats close to the stage were well worth it, with the level of detail the cast played with.

The whole flair. The staff were super friendly and the play was very funny. It was my first time at a musical on my own and I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy it as much. But this worry disappeared very quickly when I was there.
