Book of Mormon Musical opened in Salt Lake!

Post by _Polygamy-Porter »

Has anyone gone yet??

I heard all shows were sold out for the two weeks they are in SLC.

48 hours after tickets went on sale it was sold out.

LDS Inc can only dream of such success.

The church newspaper has already bashed the show:

I've seen it before. I loved the part where the mishy was reading from the Book of Mormon and read the part to the natives about the people's skin turning black when they sinned.

Good times, good times.

I love this comment in the Des News article:

I hope and pray someone has the ability to film every person who enters the theater so that we may know who in our community finds mockery and the slandering of religion entertaining.

It should come as no surprise that the Deseret News gave this play Twelve Thumbs Down.

Yet they supported it by placing three advertisements in the playbill!

Yahoo! News wrote:The playbill did include three advertisements from the Mormon church, including a picture of a smiling man with the words, "You've seen the play, now read the book."
