The Book of Mormon

Summary of the musical The Book of Mormon :

Two mismatched Mormon missionaries, one earnest and dedicated, Elder Price, the other clumsy yet well-meaning, Elder Cunningham, are sent to Uganda to convert the locals to the Mormon religion.
But upon their arrival in Africa, the missionaries discover a community living in horrible conditions of famine, poverty, AIDS and violence. There, they learn that the other missionaries have failed to convert the locals.
It was then that Elder Cunningham, who did not know the Book of Mormon well, began to invent Mormon doctrines, borrowed from science fiction…
Finally, it will take a little inventiveness and teamwork for everything to end almost well!

Written by the creators of South Park, The Book of Mormon is one of Broadway's funniest musicals with songs to cry with laughter!
