I saw The Book of Mormon (Broadway) on 05/22/11. Overall, I'd say it was a 5-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “The best thing that's happened to Broadway yet!”

I had a hysterically fun time and left the show feeling inspired and entertained. I'd describe the show as heartfelt, outrageous, and hilaaaaaarious. Gosh gad and andrew rannells was a highlight of the show because they're comic timings were absolutely brilliant. If this were a movie, I'd rate it PG-13. I would recommend this show to people with a good sense of humour but not to very religious people.

I saw this show because IT WAS A PHENOMENON and I needed to see what the hype was about. I would see it again. I sat in the center orchestra area of the theater. The view was perfect.

This musical is Broadway's salvation! With all the revivals and based-on-movies musicals that's going on, The Book of Mormon proves that original materials can be equally or even way more successful! The writing is brilliant, the wit is fantastic and on the whole, very heartfelt. I absolutely love love LOVE this musical and I can't even express how much I am currently obsessed with this show right now. The Book of Mormon is an inspiration and it WILL continue to play on Broadway for a long looooong time. Here's my little tribute video>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fagnss60pIc
