Book of Mormon Musical

This is one of the songs from the musical ‘Book of Mormon’ and it rocks! It just won 9 Tony Awards including the one for Best Musical. It was made by the creators of South Park and Avenue Q. So it’s obviously very good! This is just one of the songs but the album is highly addicitve and the songs are very catchy! Just wish I could see it but its in the US!

I guess the only people who wouldnt like it would be those who are easily offended/religious as it does poke fun at mormons. Then again when you take into consideration the creators its not surprising! I’m not personally religious so it doesn’t bother me and maybe is partly why I do find some songs very funny such as ‘All American Prophet’ which explains Mormon beliefs and they do sound a little ridiculous and the song points out the flaws in the belief. But it doesn’t matter since it’s clearly a good musical whether it offends some people or not.


It's a tricky business with things like this as some people are always bound to take offence but at the end of the day its just an enjoyable musical. It does raise some good points about the negative parts of some religious people such as in 'Turn it Off' which is all about ignoring 'bad thoughts' such as homosexual feelings. It obvious to most people that being homophobic is just stupid but some people are and the musical highlights that through catchy tunes.
