"The national tour of the Broadway smash musical The Book of Mormon proves that this boundary-pushing musical still packs a punch, delivering outrageous laughs while also offering moments of heart and sincerity in addition to the humor. More than a decade after its Broadway debut, the show remains a crowd favorite thanks to its fearless comedy, catchy score, razor sharp satire, and a national tour cast that shines." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
"The show still walks a razor-thin line between parody and offense, and not every audience member will agree where that balance lands. And that has always been the paradox of this show. It’s a musical that skewers belief while celebrating the very joy of believing. Some jokes have aged less gracefully despite the new script tweaks, and the tour’s scale and polish don’t quite match Broadway’s. But its irrepressible spirit, its unapologetic exuberance, and its sheer musical craftsmanship still remain intact. And unlike the customary ovation-as-obligation seen in too many valley theaters, this one was definitely earned." - David Appleford, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
