The Book of Mormon (Broadway)

See it if you love South Park. This is very broad, sophomoric humor. There are some good songs and lots of energy.

See it if you can’t get enough of South Park. You’ve got money to burn and are bringing someone who doesn’t usually enjoy musicals.

Don't see it if you’ve heard the hype but are on the fence because it sounds like a typical South Park episode. BoM meets expectations, doesn't defy them.

Also A great musical for people who don’t like musicals. BoM sends up the unthinking sentimentality of religion and the big Broadway production even as it ultimately redeems both. And if you do like musicals the show is still good; Parker and Stone have been churning out incisive 30-minute satires for 20+ seasons—these guys can definitely write.
