Its interesting that a show about what seems like a relatively controversial topic is a comedy. Religion is a huge issue in our society, and should be addressed in theater, though i'm not sure the best way is through a comedy musical. However, if it is bound for Broadway, it must be a great script and score. This will be an exciting show to see, even if it does become a bit too superficial and gets too much of a "typical musical" quality.
