The current touring production doesn’t miss a beat. Diego Enrico is phenomenal as Elder Cunningham, channeling the chaotic energy of Josh Gad’s original portrayal while making the role entirely his own. His comedic timing and irreverent charm bring depth to a character who could easily veer into caricature, making his emotional arc feel surprisingly genuine. Paired with Sam McLellan’s confident and charismatic Elder Price, the two lead missionaries anchor the show with palpable chemistry and infectious energy.
From start to finish, The Book of Mormon walks the razor’s edge between satire and sincerity. It skewers religion, poverty, war, and Western idealism - all with equal opportunity hilarity. But amid the chaos, there;s an undercurrent of heart that sneaks up on the audience. Yes, it's obscene. Yes, it's blasphemous. Sure, it may be the most offensive thing you've ever seen. But it’s also hopeful. The show’s message, that belief - however absurd - can bring people together and inspire change, is a surprisingly uplifting takeaway for a musical that features dancing devils and jokes that would make your grandmother faint.
The production design is polished and vibrant, seamlessly transporting the audience from Salt Lake City to a remote Ugandan village. The ensemble is uniformly strong, and the live orchestra breathes fresh life into beloved numbers like "Hello," "Hasa Diga Eebowai," and the show-stopping "I Believe."
More than a decade after its Broadway debut, The Book of Mormon still has the power to shock, delight, and - most impressively - unite a theater full of strangers in uncontrollable laughter. In a time when artistic risk-taking is often met with backlash, it’s refreshing (and oddly reassuring) that a musical this outrageous can still pack a house.
If you're a fan of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s particular brand of boundary-pushing humor - or simply someone who enjoys laughing until your cheeks hurt and tears roll down your face - The Book of Mormon is essential viewing. Go see it. Just leave your sensitivity at the door.
