Book of Mormon

One thing that has become a must see in New York is the broadway play The Book of Mormon. It was written by the creators of South Park Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Considering that South Park is highly controversial and usually makes fun of everything many people thought the show would be inappropriate. The show is about two Mormon missionaries who travel to a small village in Uganda that is run by a brutal warlord and they try to spread the Mormon faith and way of life. When the the show started previewing and reviews came out, the reviews were amazing and the show was surprisingly not that offensive, David Rooney of the Hollywood Reporter said  “Religious zealots are not going to roll up, but the show has a comic field day with Mormonism while. simultaneously acknowledging — maybe even respecting — the right of everyone to follow any faith they choose. Or invent.” The show premiered in March 2011 and did so well that getting tickets is still very difficult and show awarded nine Tony Awards. The play became a must see for anyone who like comedy as well as broadway.
