who's seen Book of Mormon?

[wannabe]

I don't really know much about it other than that I wouldn't want to take my ultra conservative MIL to see it, heh.

The hub has zero interest, but the teen wants to go with me. She's totally my partner in crime.

Any feedback to share?

[nahoku]

I thought it was hilarious and entertaining. My husband, who is not generally a huge fan of musicals, even liked it. Go!

[joshlyman]

LOVED IT.

It is super raunchy though, so keep that in mind. But it's awesome. I have the soundtrack and love it.

[wambam]

My mom and I laughed so hard we cried. I immediately bought the soundtrack and have listened to it ad nauseum (according to my H lol). Love it, can't recommend it enough.

[escrow]

Hilarious. Go!

[wannabe]

So when you say "super raunchy," are we talking like simulated sex onstage, or just amazingly awesome off-color joking?

She's 18.

[wkatie]

Totally hilarious, but definitely R(+?) rated. Loved it!

[Moe]

I think it's a great show, and it's especially awesome or an 18 year old to see it (if only to see the effects of the influence of global religions and related repercussions/falsities within their dogma)

[underwaterrhymes]

18 is fine for this.

It's not like you'd be taking her to see Zumanity. Just some very unPC jokes and plentiful cursing. It's absolutely hilarious.

The second one.  Like, SUPER off-color joking, lol.

I think she should be okay though.

The latter.

Jesus calls someone a dick. People fuck frogs. The clitoris is discussed frequently. And that's all I'll say.

Amazingly off color joking. Songs involving the clitoris and rape. About as non-PC as you can get lol

No nudity though! Lol

My DH and I went with another couple, and the guy in the other couple is not a Broadway fan at all, but he loved it. As long as you're okay with your teen hearing the f-bomb a LOT (I think even one of the character's name is like "General Butt-Fucking Naked"), it's a funny one.

[snipsnsnails]

Have you seen Avenue Q? It's on the same lines as that. If you haven't, yeah, I'd take my 18 year old to see it.

[wkatie]

Maybe listen to Hasa Diga Eebowai on youtube for an idea of what it's like. 

[Deleted]

Twice.

Loved it.

But you know me and my non-God-fearing ways.

Not sure it'd be good for your husband's side of the family.

Ummmm. There's a bit about Ugandans raping babies to cure AIDS.

(It feels wrong to even type that out.)

Eta: Is that too spoiler-y?? I can delete. It doesn't give away all that much.

For a week long I had the line "No no Joseph, don't fuck the baby!" stuck in my head on repeat lulz

Yes, wannabe, do this!

[glassofsyrah]

It's so fantastic! Hilarious and totally outrageous. I would take my 18 year old to see it.

[Deleted]

Re-reading.

No prob for teen at all.

[sa]

It was ok for me. I think it might have been too hyped up and thus my expectations were really high. I thought parts were funny, but I didn't think it was absolutely hilarious.

That being said, I didn't hate it. I think you'd be fine to bring the teen.

[sixtwelve]

My DH would have loved it but I went with my sister and her girl friends. I thought it was hilarious. There is definitely sexual humor but no nudity or anything. I would not have been comfortable watching this with my Mom when I was 18 (but I was a bit prude/naïve.) I am sure an 18 year old today would be fine.

[Deleted]

I LOVED it, but it's not for the faint of heart. It is religious satire and extremely offensive, just my cup of tea. But your MIL may be scarred for life.

[Deleted]

I'm crazy looking forward to seeing it in May with Jake!!!!

Both. 

It was clothed simulated sex, but did involve dildos that were 2 feet long.

[pretzel]

loved it! But, they sing really fast so I went back to the hotel and looked up the text because I felt like I'd missed something and wished I had read the play in advance. That said, it was great.

[DaisyCakes]

It's amazing. H and I laughed our asses off. I'd take an 18 year old, it's probably nothing she hasn't already heard at school

[leeann]

I really liked it, but I don't get offended at all. It was funny if you don't care about religion or racial or other stereotypes.

[open24hours]

Loved it, laughed until I cried. I like listening to the soundtrack while I run. Definately not what you would think of as running music but I always laugh while listening to it and it distracts from the boredom of long runs.
