The Mormon Musical is Here
Three previews of Parker and Stone's Book of Mormon, about to start previews on Broadway next week: the Times, Slate, and uber-blogger/South Park groupie Andrew Sullivan. (It will also be the feature theatre article in Sunday Times' Arts & Leisure.)
Personally I'm looking forward. Big fan of theirs. But all their "atheist's love letter to religion" pr aside, am I the only one expecting huge Fox News-fueled controversy? Worse yet, I fear Mitt Romney will use this spoofing of his religion into a crusade to jump-start his zombie candidacy and turn himself into some culture warrior.
Not that I want to give these folks any ideas. But you heard it here first...

Saw the preview on Saturday, 26th. Fantastic! Stunning performances by all and the audience could not have been more pleased! Cheering through out the show and a rousing standing ovation at the end. It's what a musical should be.
And I agree, I hope the 'ol Mit doesn't jump on the band wagon.
