Foul-mouthed tour of 'Book of Mormon' heads out on road
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "The Book of Mormon" arrived on Broadway like a bawdy toddler, cursing and making poo jokes but winning hearts anyway. Now it's ready for a road trip. The nine-time Tony Award-winning musical opens its first national tour in Denver this month after its creators have gently prepared the little sister version to stagger off without them. "Doing a musical is like having a kid," says Trey Parker during a break in rehearsals in New York. "It's out there alive somewhere. It's not like a movie or a TV show where what we intended is what everyone will see. The kid can act out. The kid's going to do what it wants to do."
