Heaven on Earth?
Trey Parker's set of scriptures sing and dance they're way to stardom in The Book of Mormon the Musical. The musical written by Southpark co-creator Trey Parker premiered on Broadway March 24 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. The show has been well received by most critics and is rumored to clean up this years Tony awards. The reminiscent music of Mel Brooks is praised by The Los Angeles Times: "the songs, often inspired lampoons of contemporary Broadway styles, are as catchy as they are clever."However its profane lyrics and religious satire has others questioning the content. The Wall Street Journal called the show "slick and smutty: The Book of Mormon is the first musical to open Broadway since La Cage aux Folles that has the smell of a send-in-the-tourists hit." While both positive or negative reviews are given, you can be sure that this one will cause a major ruckus equally seen in episodes of Southpark.
