The Book of Mormon



We've been wanting to see this for sooo long! And it toured through Detroit!
It was crude, rude, hilarious (what else would you expect from the creators of South Park?) and actually quite touching in some ways.
I don't know why non-Mormons would even be interested in it- I don't think you'd get half of the jokes! I don't know the last time I laughed so hard.

Just from the point of view of a Mormon- it has absolutely nothing against Mormons. In fact, it portrays them as overly nice and naive people, who are just trying to help- and in fact do. I think that is kind of spot on. It pokes fun at a lot of our peculiar doctrine (umm, can you blame them?), but in the end the message is- who cares what the 'story' is, or if it's true- if it makes people happier, then it is good.
I really loved it.
Not to mention, the music is just plain catchy.

The ONE picture I have of us with some of our very best friends/ kindred spirits here in Michigan. Loved that we didn't even have to ask each other if we were going to see "The Book of Mormon" - it was a given.
