These are HILARIOUS! I love them much more than the idea of the BoM musical, which even if they handle the church side of things well (which I've heard mixed feelings about), it sounds as if they treat the African characters with racist stereotypes, so it's not one I'm willing to drop $400 on. I'd rather go to 40 movies with better storylines.

Made me laugh

"The ProduSeers," "West Temple Side Story," and
"The Phantom of the Tabernacle" would also be sure-fire winners.

You all are so supportive, what would we do without you guys! We'll let you all know if there ever is an opening night for any of our shows ;-)
@Becca Thanks for your thoughts.

Home runs, all of them. Nathan Lane probably would be willing to produce them...

2011-05-25T14:50:25.413-06:00

Ha ha, so I had heard of the musical briefly, but didn't know much about it, so in my never-ending quest for knowledge and understanding, I looked it up and read the entire Wikipedia article about it.

I have to admit - it looks completely offensive (not just because it mocks Mormons - I would throw it in the same boat as many other movies/TV/media I choose not to consume), and so I will probably never see it, nor listen to the music, same as most other offensive musicals/shows/etc that I choose not to consume.

However, I have to say this quote from the writers was (in my opinion) a VERY redeeming quality:
"Before the church responded, a lot of people would ask us, 'Are you afraid of what the church would say?' And Trey and I were like, 'They're going to be cool.' And they were like, 'No, they're not. There are going to be protests.' And we were like, 'Nope, they're going to be cool.' We weren't that surprised by the church's response. We had faith in them." (quote from the creators - find it here.

Obviously they weren't making the musical to be pains in the butt - and I like that they actually approved of the Church's reaction. I think members of the Church (and all humanity, for that matter) could learn a lesson from the Church's PR department. The General Authorities weren't rankled, so why should we, as members, be.

That said - I'd love to see your musicals, Sistas - I'm sure they would be hilarious, and not nearly as filthy as some of the stuff Broadway produces. ;)

Oh my gosh! Love it! LaurieBee

I can definitely appreciate the humor, here. Who know, perhaps you might be onto something?

However, I made a conscience choice to be offended by this play, for many reason;)

I was thinking about seeing it since I am Mormon, and live in the city. After listening to part of the soundtrack on itunes I deciced not too. Some of the songs are HIGHLY offensive. Although I do like the opening number "Hello!"

2011-05-24T10:40:34.898-06:00

Haha I love the new ideas! Too bad the new musical isn't anything like the ones you came up with! I would definitely pay to see one of them :)
