The Book Of Mormon, King's Theatre, Glasgow Matinee Friday 23rd May 2025

 

I went into this show blind, and Hallelujah, I have now seen the light. This show totally dismissed any apprehension I had that touring productions were weaker than the West End runs. The choreography, acting, and singing were top-notch, the stagecraft smooth, and the humour appropriately vulgar. I won't forget General Butt Fucking Naked or Maggots in my Scrotum for a long time. Jeez, the main characters even had fulfilling story arcs. The script is so sharp. The audience loved one particular script adjustment for the Scottish run. Elder Cunningham, who had been comically misnaming Nabulungi throughout the show, called her Nicola Sturgeon, cheekily side-glancing at the audience. 

I wholeheartedly loved this musical.
