‘Outstanding – Starkie!’, The Book of Mormon is a must-see show \u2013 Reviewed By Eugene Lee, StarkInsider.com.<\/p>\n

If you are humor-impaired, a die-hard theologically devout Mormon (or, frankly any other religion), bringing young (16 or younger) children, are easily offended by explicit language, or are a plain old stick-in-the-mud, then I highly recommend you do NOT see The Book of Mormon. For all the rest of you \u2013 this is a must-see show.<\/p>\n

I was curious and eager to see this show at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco<\/a> the night before Thanksgiving, having had the good fortune to have seen the original production in New York City. From the opening curtain I knew we were in for a good night \u2013 the stage and space are noticeably larger than the smallish Eugene O\u2019Neill theatre on Broadway \u2013 and the audience was vibrant, appreciative, and responsive.<\/p>\n

For those of you not familiar with the show, the story centers on a pair of newly minted Mormon missionaries (Elder Price and Elder Cunningham) who, instead of being sent to Orlando (Elder Price\u2019s lifelong dream) are sent to a remote village in Uganda. The entire show is dripping in sarcasm, poignantly clever lyrics, musical themes that pay homage (put not necessarily respect) to the traditions of Disney (Lion King is lampooned more than once), heavy metal (\u201cMan Up\u201d), and good old fashioned Broadway (\u201cTurn It Off\u201d is a classic tap routine,and \u201cOrlando\u201d is a loose musical parody of West Side Story\u2019s \u201cMaria\u201d). The show is written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone of \u201cSouth Park\u201d fame and Robert Lopez (\u201cAvenue Q\u201d plus several Disney credits). The Wikipedia entry for the show has some great background information if you want more.<\/p>\n

The Book of Mormon is a must-see show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the very opening number (\u201cHello\u201d) to the big closing Finale, we are taken on a journey that is at times intricate and clever (\u201cHello\u201d), bawdy and shocking (\u201cHasa Diga Eebowai\u201d and \u201cSpooky Mormon Hell Dream\u201d), silly and sarcastic (\u201cOrlando\u201d), beautiful and ironic (\u201cI Am Here for You\u201d, \u201cI Believe\u201d), or just plain entertaining (\u201cTurn it Off\u201d).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
