The Book of Mormon

Theater Reviews + Features | Pittsburgh City Paper: When The Book of Mormon opened on Broadway, in 2011, it was greeted with accolades that would have made Jesus blush ... or should that be the Angel Moroni? Winning nine Tonys, Mormon was hailed as the reboot of the American musical; since it was from the South Park guys, people who don't usually go to musicals (i.e., straight men) would go to this. The credits list the book, music and lyrics by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone. Lopez wrote the Tony-winning score to Avenue Q. Parker is listed as co-director with Casey Nicholaw, who supplies the choreography. A touring version is here as part of PNC Broadway Across America.
