I was very much looking forward to seeing this show and laughed with glee for the first few songs. My heart sank when I heard the characters were heading to Africa for their mission. Once the characters arrived in Africa I felt the show stopped being a parody of Mormonism and was instead became a thinly veiled mockery of Africans. The play generalized an entire continent and reinforced sad, unfair generalizations about the most impoverished of rural African tribes.
Why not set this show in Utah or follow the Elders’ misadventures across America? I felt uncomfortable as the mostly white audience laughed with glee over un-funny racist tropes about Africa. What is funny about the very real AIDS epidemic, female genital mutilation or portraying Africans as dumb, two-dimensional puppets who need ‘saving’ by white men?
I can not recommend this play and while I found the jabs at Mormonism funny and smart, I really couldn’t stand that they had to use Africa as a scapegoat for the message.

SOUND DESIGN IS TERRIBLE
I had no really strong issue with the irreverence, being somewhat familiar with South Park. But I could really understand only about 25% of the dialogue, the distortion was so bad. When they were singing ensemble, the lyrics might as well have been gibberish. Surely this can be remedied. Does no one from the production sit in the audience??

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! GEARED TO A SEVENTH GRADE MENTALITY!
Do NOT waste your time or money. Storyline is weak. Very shallow and cliche humor. Volume was way too loud.

OPENING NIGHT SEATTLE - WORST ACOUSTICAL ENGINEERING,
The person on the soundboard needs to go sit in the audience to experience the tortious aural assault. Distortion rendered the lyrics incomprehensible
and the volume painful. The paramount is not known for great acoustics but Jersey Boys was well delivered for the venue. Given reviews from other
cities, perhaps the sound company should be fired.
I think the leads could sing, but not sure. I found the story line(if you can claim one) disappointing given that my favorite South Park episode is Book of
Mormon. This didn't give me any brief moments of being able to pretend to be at a broadway production once the lights went down. Limited humourous
lines, mediocre ensemble dancing and singing. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

BOOK OF MORMON
We were very disappointed in not only the show but the theater. Our seats were in the far corner of the theater and we could not see the stage. When I approached the usher to ask for assistance, I was told there are cushions in the lower level of the theater. By then, the show was about to start and I would not have been re admitted . What a rip off! I sat thru the entire first act not being able to see thru the heads of the people in front of me. I've never had dress circle seats as bad as these , especially considering we paid $240 for two seats We hated the show, it was not one bit funny . It portrayed the Africans as idiots . I can enjoy a irreverent humor but this wasn't humorous in the slightest. It was stupid and offensive. The terrible experience at the Bank of American theater was our last.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
We have seen many broadway shows over the years, but had never left at intermission, until tonight. Loud, vulgar and no talent cast!

THE BOOK OF RACISM
If this web site gave me the capability to select ZERO stars I would gladly rate it that
low! Did the actors do their jobs? Yes. But the content is racist, homophobic and
mysogynistic. I cringed for the Black performers each time they delivered a
demeaning line. Yes, I realize BOM is written by the creators of South Park, but this
went above and beyond their version of dark humor. The blogger at
Blackandoutside summarized my feelings on this piece of garbage perfectly in his
August 29, 2016 post. Go there if you care to read more - no sense in reinventing
the wheel AND this website won't allow me to include a link to the article "F**k the
Book of Mormon". I was disappointed to see such a large number of theater goers
in a city that is known for voting "blue" and where Black Lives Matter signs are in so
many yards laughing and enjoying this vile, offensive piece of crap. Smdh
If heaven promises to "have it all", then The Book of Mormon is paradise on Broadway - populated with the naughty and nice. After all, this provocative production has been running since 2011 - making it one of New York's top attractions!
