Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon doesn’t ease into anything—it hits you immediately and doesn’t apologize for it. It’s funny, aggressive, and built to get a reaction. But here’s the tension: does that make it great, or just entertaining? Against Rent, it looks sharper but less heartfelt. Against Chicago, it’s louder but less controlled. And not everyone buys into the humor. Some think it’s brilliant satire. Others think it’s trying too hard. Either way, it’s one of the few shows here that people argue about before they even hit play.
