The Book Of Mormon — Local services in London

My brother took me to see Book of Mormon for my birthday and I have to say that it was one of the best shows I have ever seen on the West End.

--Venue-- The venue of the show I thought was good, although considering this is a popular show, it did get quite crowded, especially for the bar and toilet. The seats we were in were quite close to the stage in the middle and they were comfortable. The seats were also arranged in a way that the person in front of me wasn't obstructing my view. If you are purchasing a ticket and can do, I would get tickets close to the stage as the experience was amazing.

--The Show-- From watching it, you can tell it is from the creators of South Park but in all honestly, I don't think it is as offensive as people think. There are some crude moments or some moments that can be considered bad but the way that it is portrayed is more funny than vulgar. I thought the show was spectacular and extremely funny. My sides were hurting when I came out. Everything in the show fitted together nicely and all the characters were amazing to watch. The acting, singing and dancing was brilliant, I have to admit that I wasn't expecting something as amazing as what I watched. I cannot congratulate the performers enough for their work. I think this is a show that anyone can enjoy but you need to go into it with an open mind. If you are someone that is extremely easily offended then I would avoid this. Although I didn't find it offensive and the way the offence is done is more funny, some people who get easily offended by anything may not enjoy this show the way it should be. It is not to offend anyone or to make fun of anyone, it is simply for humor and should be taken as such.

--Pricing-- The tickets are quite expensive, especially if you are sitting in the seats closer to the stage but I think this made the show more amazing. I didn't purchase any drinks or food so I cannot comment on that but the merchandise was of a reasonable price, albeit more expensive than other shows.

--Overall-- It was an amazing experience and a show that didn't disappoint. The songs are stuck in my head and I would happily go watch it again.

"The Book of Mormon," a theatrical masterpiece by Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez, seamlessly weaves irreverent humor with thought-provoking commentary, much like the creators' renowned animated series, South Park. This satirical musical fearlessly explores themes of religion, faith, and cultural differences, bringing the creators' signature wit and edgy humor to the stage.

The sharp and fearless writing cleverly pokes fun at various aspects of organized religion while maintaining a level of respect for the characters and their beliefs, a trademark also seen in South Park. The infectious tunes and clever lyrics of the musical numbers, composed by Robert Lopez, mirror the comedic brilliance seen in both the musical and the iconic animated series.

Outstanding performances and chemistry among the cast elevate the comedic and emotional impact of the show. The production values, from set design to choreography, are top-notch, creating a visually engaging experience that resonates with fans of South Park's distinct style.

"The Book of Mormon" stands as a bold and refreshing addition to musical theater, drawing parallels to South Park by pushing boundaries, challenging societal norms, and fearlessly tackling complex themes with a unique blend of humor and heart. Whether you're a Broadway enthusiast or a South Park fan, this show is a must-see for its originality, creativity, and the unmistakable touch of its...

*from reading other people's reviews it seems like they thought this musical was about the joys of believing in nonsense and it's not. It's written by two very well known offensive creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker the creators of South Park who grew up Mormon and now realize the ridiculousness of the religion. This play is offensive and seemingly racist because the Mormon religion was racist until about 1978 and it pokes fun at the ridiculous creation of Mormonism and their held beliefs. I'm not sure why people came to see this without knowing that and we're shocked by the performance but that's the point of this show. Perhaps this isn't something believers should see if they're not ready to have the hypocrisy, rasicm and religious colonizing of their beliefs put in their face.

This was the best musical I've ever seen in my entire life. I have been begging, bothering and threatening my husband to go see this since it first came out years ago and somehow we always missed the opportunity so when my husband was coming to London for work he decided to get me to meet him and he took me here as a surprise. This show is so damn funny and mildly offensive so we loved it. Everyone from the ticket taker to the bartender in the theater was fantastic and it's always nice to have a couple drinks before a show. I would see this over and over again it's definitely...
