I saw The Book Of Mormon! Who wants to touch me?

I was lucky enough to get a ticket to see The Book of Mormon (Thanks to Morag and Dan). Amazing. Hilarious. Awesome in every way. I’m talking about the show not Morag and Dan. Although they are pretty great too.

The musical comes from the minds of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park. They developed the story with Avenue Q, also a fantastic show, cocreator Robert Lopez. I am a huge South Park fan and I love Avenue Q. I knew I had to see Book of Mormon.



Matt and Trey



The show is about two Mormons from Salt Lake City, Utah. The two main characters, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham get paired together and sent off to a village in Uganda, Africa to spread the good word of the Mormon faith. What happens next is so funny and offensive, done only the way Matt and Trey know how.

During the intermission there were whispers that Will Ferrell was in the house. I glanced over to my left and saw that curly haired, goofy bastard also known as Ron Burgundy sitting three rows in front of me! Every time something funny was said in the show I immediately shifted my eyes to Will to see what his reaction was. Did he laugh? Did he just smile? Is he having fun? Wow, his wife looks pretty good. I mean she is too tall for me, but he is a tall guy so it works. What if I went up to him and whispered hello in his ear and then sat back down? What would happen if he just walked up on stage in the middle of the show wearing the Spartan cheerleader costume and acting all crazy? Can you imagine that?

People would say, “Hey did you hear Will Ferrell dressed like that cheerleader from SNL and got on stage randomly during the Book of Mormon? That is nuts! I wish I was there to see it."  Then I can say, “Psst. I was there and it was awesome."
