The Book of Mormon (Theatre)	comment	The Book of Mormon is a Broadway musical by Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Robert Lopez.The story follows two young Mormon men who are assigned to Uganda for their mission. Elder Kevin Price is a fresh-faced, eager young man and the most devout, holy member of his Mormon church. Elder Price's partner, Elder Arnold Cunningham, is a nerdy goofball who hasn't read all the scriptures, is prone to lying, and generally very awkward. The two are sent to Uganda as part of their mission to convert people to the Mormon faith, but quickly end up way over their heads once they see how bad things are in Uganda.The musical pokes fun at organized religion and takes some admitted liberties with Mormon doctrines, such as the story of Joseph Smith. In the end, the characters realize that their faith has inspired them to be better people and to help others. Even if they convey the Book of Mormon's stories in a wildly inaccurate way — including involving Mordor and Boba Fett — their honesty and optimism ends up convincing their Ugandan students to convert to Mormonism and try to make the world a better place.Created by the same people who made South Park, so you shouldn't be surprised to find a lot of Black Comedy. Nor should you be surprised that the message of the play is basically the same as in the South Park episode "All About Mormons": The Book of Mormon itself might be completely bogus, but the important thing is that the Mormon teachings inspires people to better themselves.The cast album was released and became the best-selling cast album of all time on iTunes, beating out American Idiot and reaching #2. The full soundtrack can be streamed for free on the official Facebook page.The show won a huge number of Tony Awards, including Best Musical.Not to be confused with the actual religious text The Book of Mormon.

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_1086f287	type	Sure, Let's Go with That
The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_1086f287	comment	Sure, Let's Go with That: When Cunningham is making up stories to convince the villagers that the various things they're about to do (rape babies, commit FGM, etc.) are explicitly forbidden in the bible, Cunningham says that people who tried to cut off a girl's clitoris were punished by being turned into frogs. Since he had just previously said that God told Joseph Smith that the cure for aids was having sex with a frog, Nabulungi asks "You mean like the frogs that got fucked by Joseph Smith!?". Judging by the way Cunningham says yes, like those frogs, it's clear he completely forgot about that, but liked the added implications of the punishment.

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_13871049	comment	Hakuna Matata: Played with in "Hasa Diga Eebowai," where the true meaning of the phrase subverts the normal optimism of the trope, which is not surprising considering that the English translation of the phrase is "Fuck you, God." The Trope Namer is even referenced with "Does it mean no worries for the rest of our days?" The trope is then deconstructed with "Turn It Off" where the missionaries sing about forgetting their problems, but instead of this being a sign of how care-free they are, it hints at Stepford Smiler tendencies as the Elders suppress their emotions through tap-dance, including a sister succumbing to cancer, an abusive father, and one with gay thoughts. Played straighter at the end when all the Ugandan converts start saying "Ma ha nei bu, Eebowai," meaning "Thank you, God."

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: "Baptize Me" is an extended Double Entendre in which Cunningham and Nabulungi sing about her baptism in a way that sounds like they're describing their feelings about having Their First Time with each other. The moment when General Butt-Fucking Naked and his guards close in on Elder Price is reminiscent of a scene from the story of Abinadi in the actual Book of Mormon. In fact, Elder Price quotes Abinadi directly by saying "Touch me not!"

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_15b2cab3	comment	Tempting Fate: Elder Price thinks that it's enough to believe strongly in his religion to make people convert. He walks into General Butt-Fucking-Naked's territory while singing passionately about his faith. At first, the general and his men are stunned by Price's audacity, but they get more and more angry as the song progresses. Not only does Price not convert anyone, he gets the Book of Mormon shoved up his ass for his troubles. Elder Cunningham does a series of in-universe Ass Pulls to get the Ugandans to stop doing things such as genital mutilation and baby rape. Later, the Missionary Leader comes to visit the camp and sees the pageant "Joseph Smith, American Moses", based on what Cunningham has been teaching. It's so wildly inaccurate that the Missionary Leader promptly disbands the district and excommunicates the elders for failing to do anything right in their mission.invoked

It hits on Elder Cunningham's "Well Done, Son" Guy tendencies that he told to Elder Price earlier. Price instantly regrets saying it, but the damage is done. The line starts the biggest bits of character development for the both of them.

This leaves Elder Cunningham with a choice of either going after Price (which would break the mission rule about going out past curfew), or staying put (which would break the mission rule of not leaving one's mission companion). Either way, Cunningham is going to be breaking some sort of rule because he can't follow one rule without breaking the other, and imagines that he's probably going to get in trouble no matter what he does.

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_a27c0c2c	type	Artistic License â€“ Religion
The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_a27c0c2c	comment	Artistic License â€“ Religion: Several tenets of Mormon history and beliefs were changed for practicality or to fit the story better. In the beginning of the play, the Mormon elders find out where they're going on their missions when they get to the Missionary Training Center. In real life, missionaries find out where they're going via mail long before they show up at the Center. They also don't spend their entire two years with the same companion; they're usually at least one of a hundred or so missionaries operating within a mission district's boundaries. In addition, while mission districts vary in size, a district would almost certainly be larger than just one village in Africa. In real life, the opportunity to be assigned to a different companion/district within the mission, known as a transfer, comes up every six weeks. In the play, Elder Price requests a transfer less than two days after arriving for his mission. (Though admittedly, he was in the middle of a nervous breakdown about how bad things were in Uganda.) The musical repeatedly makes fun of the idea that nobody but Joseph Smith ever saw the Golden Plates, which told the story of how ancient Jews came to America and became Amerindians. Actual Mormon doctrine claims that eleven other believers saw them, too. Contrary to "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream" in the musical, Mormon doctrine holds that Hell is not a Fire and Brimstone Hell, but a metaphor for a personal state of sin-induced guilt and suffering that leads to eternal separation from God (and/or, to be specific, a terrifying place called Outer Darkness).

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_a4c37cbe	comment	Mood Whiplash: Invoked by the various Elders' stories in "Turn It Off." It includes such things as an abusive father, a sister dying of cancer, and repressed homosexual thoughts. The whiplash comes in from the dark subject matter suddenly shifting to a lighthearted show tune as the Mormons tell Elders Price and Cunningham to "flip the switch" and just pretend that they don't feel the things they do. Played straight when General Butt-Fucking Naked arrives. We get all of two minutes to laugh at his name—before he point-blank shoots a rebellious villager, complete with blood spurting out of the villager's head. Played straight when Elder Price is about to be attacked by General Butt-Fucking Naked, there is some humor in it, but the scene and music is overall suspenseful—then whiplash to a lighthearted, playful tune as the scene shifts to Elder Cunningham. Plus the next time we see Price, in the middle of the "I am Africa" number, we discover that the General shoved his copy of the Book of Mormon up his ass. In the words of the doctor, "Something incredible! It blows my fucking mind!"

Even Matt Stone's own philosophy of "religion is a tool, not a rulebook" is presented rather ambiguously. In-Universe, Elders Price and Cunningham conclude from their experiences that it's more important to have a religion that helps people improve their lives than to follow the dogma of an established church. This comes up with Nabulungi, who takes the Ass Pull-filled teachings of Cunningham literally, and ends up disappointed when she finds out he made it up. The other Ugandans tell her that Cunningham was clearly making it up; the point, they gathered, was not to take what Cunningham said literally, but to apply it to their own lives.invoked

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_ab5d5d86	comment	Evolving Music: The song "Man Up" contains the line "We will listen to the fat white guy", referring to Elder Cunningham, who was originally played by an actor of that description. It gets changed to "We will listen to the weird white guy" in productions where the actor playing Cunningham is thinner. In "I Believe", the lyrics reference Thomas Monson, the president of the LDS Church at the time of the show's premiere. When Monson passed away, the lyric was changed to reference Monson's successor, Russell Nelson. His name even has the same number of syllables as his predecessor. In 2021, some of the lyrics were revised in a two-week workshop of the original cast and crew amidst concerns that the original show's depiction of the Ugandan villagers was cartoonishly backwards to the point of being racist. The most notable changes include: The Running Gag (present in several songs) about Nabulungi using a typewriter to send "texts" is changed to her having an iPad that she uses to make Facebook posts, changing the joke from the villagers not understanding modern technology to social media being used to spread misinformation. This has the dual effect of making the joke more topical as this became a much more hot button issue in the 2020s than it was in the 2010s. Continuing from the above, "Hasa Diga Eebowai" has a new line where Mtumbo says he learned that "the cure for aids is raping a baby" from a Facebook post. Price's lines in the final confrontation with General Butt Fucking Naked are given to Nabulungi to make it clearer that the villagers are standing up to their oppressor rather than the missionaries acting as pure white saviors. "I Am Africa" had its lyrics adjusted to make the missionaries look more obviously buffoonish and the villagers more obviously annoyed.

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_bf64a255	comment	Rock Me, Asmodeus!: "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream" has a very hard rock/metal sound, and Satan appears playing the guitar halfway through the song. Considering how straight it's played in "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream," it's odd that there's also rock guitar in "Man Up," combined with Elder Cunningham trying hilariously hard to pull off Seattle Throat. (Or... something. There's a lot of bizarre, warped vowels, frying, and pushing so hard you can practically see the nodules forming on his vocal folds.) And not only is there no Satan shredding on lead guitar this time, the trope is inverted by Elder Cunningham snarling a rock tune about Jesus Christ dying for everyone's sins.

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Due to the show's nature as a parody, there are a lot of music shout-outs. "Joseph Smith: American Moses" is a homage to "The Small House of Uncle Thomas" from The King and I. Also, "You and Me (But Mostly Me)" seems to be a parody of "The Wizard and I" from Wicked. It also has similar chords to "Defying Gravity." "I Believe" has an opening that parodies "I Have Confidence" from The Sound of Music, and the soundtrack liner notes describe it as a riff on "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" (also from The Sound of Music). A chunk of "All American Prophet" has Elder Price imitating Robert Preston's sing-talking from The Music Man, while the rest of it is a shout-out to another Joseph: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Also in "All American Prophet," Elder Price describes Joseph Smith as having "a little Donny Osmond flair"; Osmond played Joseph in a direct-to-video film of the latter musical (and had an extended run in the role for the stage production during the 1990s). Osmond is also a Mormon. Cunningham, as he keeps making up entries in the titular book, tries convincing the disbelieving Ugandans, says what is essentially a cleaned-up version of Cartman's signature BS catchphrase "Eehw mahi gawd, guys, no wai!" Though a parody of the "I Want" Song in general, "Sal Tlay Ka Siti" seems to specifically be a parody of "Somewhere That's Green" from Little Shop of Horrors. "Hasa Diga Eebowai" parodies "Hakuna Matata." Elder Cunningham even asks the Ugandans, "Does it mean no worries for the rest of our days?" During "Hasa Diga Eebowai," when Hatimbi reaches the "aaaaaaaa...wonderful disposition" part of the song and describes Nabulungi, both the text and his vocal timbre become a shout-out to Les MisÃ©rables. During "Making Things Up Again," hobbits, Mordor, Yoda, and Boba Fett all are referenced, and one of the ghosts/voices in Elder Cunningham's head that we see in the background during the song is Uhura. On occasion, Boba Fett is replaced by Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, or a mashup of all three. The "Orlando" chorus in "Two by Two" and "Man Up" is a blatant shout-out to "Tomorrow" from Annie. "Two by Two" itself has musical similarities with "Our Time" from Merrily We Roll Along. One of the Mormon missionaries is named Elder Young. Additionally, Orgazmo's ray gun sound effect is used in "Two by Two." In "Joseph Smith: American Moses," several Mormons die of dysentery while heading out west. Elders Price and Cunningham are assigned to Ugandan District 9. During "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream," the Ominous Latin Choir chants "rectus dominus," Latin for, approximately, "ass master," the same chant heard in the first-season South Park episode "Damien." During "Turn it Off," the Mormons clapping their hands makes the lights go off, in the same manner of the Clapper product and memetic infomercials. Some productions deliberately turn McKinley into a look-alike of Neil Patrick Harris.

It's played for laughs when Price insists he never had any gay thoughts to turn off, which is promptly mistaken by the other Elders that the turning-off worked. McKinley shows up as one of the demons during Price's "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream" number, and Price, depending on the cast, either recognizes and reaches for him (only to be thwarted because dancing whirls McKinley-demon away) or, in one memorable West End instance, starts making out with him. Earlier in the show, some versions of McKinley attempt to kiss a blood-splattered Price in the moment he grabs McKinley's forearms (or in some productions, his face) and says he needs to speak to the Mission President.

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_f15c2859	comment	No Indoor Voice: Elder Cunningham. His Establishing Character Moment is at the top of his lungs, and when he says that he lies a lot, he also shouts it to the whole world. Cunningham is certainly capable of talking quietly, but as his emotions get the better of him, he can't control the volume of his voice.

In "Hasa Diga Eebowai," Mafala Hatimbi goes, "Here's the butcher, he has AIDS; here's the teacher, she has AIDS; here's the doctor, he has AIDS; here's my daughter [Nabulungi], she has AAAAAAA... wonderful disposition!" From an early demo version of "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream": "Down, down to Satan's realm, / That's where you shall dwell! / This is eternal, / No escape from H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks!"

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_f3fd818b	type	Dark Reprise
The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_f3fd818b	comment	Dark Reprise: Elder Cunningham sings a short reprise of "I Am Here For You" after Elder Price leaves him behind. It's almost the same as the original except for the last line, and that really makes all the difference. Elder Price gets his own with "Orlando (Reprise)". While it's sort of played for laughs the song is really about him having his faith destroyed after clinging and adhering to it his whole life. Sections of "Two By Two" and "You and Me (But Mostly Me)" each get a grimmer call-back in the middle of "I Am Africa" as the Elders prepare their report for the head of the Missionary. "Hasa Diga Eebowai" wasn't exactly a bright song, but it at least had morbid humor and a jaunty tune and dance sequence to go with it. Nabulungi's reprise of it, however, is a slower, sadder rendition of that song that expresses her despair over learning everything she learnt was all a lie, even cursing God for getting her hopes up only to let her down.

Pretty much the only reason why he isn't shot to death when he barges into General Butt Fucking Naked's camp to try to convert him to Mormonism is because neither him nor his guards can process the fact that someone was brave or stupid enough to do that unarmed.

At the end of the story, Price admits that he doesn't know if he still believes in God, but he does believe in Arnold and his newly discovered talent for inspiring people.

The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
The Book of Mormon (Theatre) / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: In "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream", Elder Price dreams that Jesus calls him a dick for abandoning Elder Cunningham (and for lying that his brother ate a maple-glazed donut when Price was five years old). Later in the same song, without referencing it beforehand, Price says "I can't believe Jesus called me a dick!" "Joseph Smith: American Moses" to "Making Things Up Again." The things that Cunningham said in the latter song show up in the former song. It's played for Cringe Comedy because the Mormon mission president is watching all this, knowing it's obviously wrong. The Running Gag "I HAVE MAGGOTS IN MY SCROTUM!" shows up one last time at the very end of the closing number. In fact, they're the last words said in the play. In "You and Me (But Mostly Me)", Elder Price says that he hopes he'll go to Heaven one day and hear God (as the Father) personally tell him that he's done on a great job. In "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream", he instead goes to Hell and hears God (as the Son) personally tell him that he's a dick.

The whole idea is subverted, as the Mormons' teachings don't really solve the problems that the Ugandans face. However, Arnold is able to inspire the villagers in the end. It's less because they take the stories at face value, and more that they're inspired by the lessons offered.

Thus, he thinks mostly of himself rather than Elder Cunningham.
