This show was excellent, well acted, very funny, sets were great. If you are offended by jokes against The Latter Day Saints you will not enjoy. But if you can see the comedy in religous traditions you will enjoy this...even men who don't do musicals will love this well written play! The tickets were very pricey but I rationalized as... More

Incredibly funny. At points, I had a hard time keeping my eyes open because I was laughing so hard. Music is great; acting is great. We were close enough to see the actors' facial expressions and that was terrific too. Not for kids (full of four letter words and sexual references). In addition to everything else, it was a nice...

A must see! Entertaining and humorous! The singing is great! The Eugene O'Neill Theater is the perfect stage, there is no bad seat in the house. Would definitely love to see it again!

All religions were fair game here. But incredibly well done. I mean we all have to laugh at ourselves sometime. Loved the music and loved the message in the end. Some may find it too much satire.

I don't even know where to start with how wonderful this musical was! I tend to fall asleep at musicals/concerts...this was by far the BEST I've ever been to! Our seats were great, the play was phenomenal! Definitely a must for your NYC trip!!!!

Very funny if you're not mormon. i laughed the entire show but did think at the end how embarrasing this would be if i was a mormon.

Perhaps after all the hype about this show I had too great of an expectation. It's good but not great. It could have been funnier but wasn't. The plot was thin and other than the opening number the musical is neither memorable nor remarkable.

Expect to laugh and cringe at inappropriate scenes. What you would not expect is songs that you will be humming for days and a sweet story of friendship. Really original content and with an open mind you will have a wonderful night.

Lively show with good dance, music and vocals. Some hilarious parts if you can get over the "Fxxx" word. If you are a South Park fan, you will enjoy the irreverent humor.
