Just saw it this afternoon. Pretty good. In general, I'm not a fan of musicals, but this one was worth seeing. I've been a fan of South Park for a long time, but I don't think you have to like one to enjoy the other. Just be aware that there's crass humor and the f word is used quite often. Not sure my parents would enjoy it, but my wife and I sure as hell did!
You can go on your AMEX account online and go to their "Entertainment Center" or whatever it's called. I just did that and I think the cheapest tickets were about $62 per ticket, which is pretty good.
Saw some stuff on a google search of "Book of Mormon Houston" but I can't vouch for their authenticity.
Yeah there's a bunch on StubHub, but after hearing about that good price I don't want to pay $177/ticket. Is the AMEX ticket personalized? Or could I have someone with an AMEX buy the tickets for me?
Damn I totally missed the boat on this, has anyone gone to a show out here at the Hobby Center??? This is it, last weekend.
I saw it last night. Seemed like a lot of 7th grade humor. Its kind of interesting they picked the Mormons to go after. I wonder what would have happen if they picked the Qur'an. I guess they figured the Mormons are among the nicer people and wouldn't start anything. Heck the Mormon Church bought ads in the playbill which is pretty funny.
I saw it when I was in London. Cost was about that... $150 or so. The show is absolutely hilarious. If you like their South Park movie music you should like the music in this one. The guy who wrote the music in this one is the same guy who did Frozen with his wife.
They've gone after the Prophet before. Comedy Central later admitted to censoring some of their final cut.
Heading to Sal Tlay Ka Siti today to see if it a metaphor. My mother once told me of a place With waterfalls and unicorns flying Where there was no suffering, no pain Where there was laughter instead of dying I always thought she'd made it up To comfort me in times of pain But now I know that place is real Now I know it's name Sal Tlay Ka Siti Not just a story Momma told But a village in Utah Where the roofs are thatched with gold If I could let myself believe I know just where I'd be Right on the next bus to Paradise Sal Tlay Ka Siti I can imagine what it must be like This perfect, happy place I'll bet the goat meat there is plentiful And they have vitamin injections by the case The warlords there are friendly They help you cross the street And there's a Red Cross on every corner With all the flour you can eat Sal Tlay Ka Siti The most perfect place on Earth The flies don't bite your eyeballs And human life has worth It isn't a place of fairytales It's as real as it can be A land where evil doesn't exist Sal Tlay Ka Siti And I'll bet the people are openminded And don't care who you ? And all I hope is that when I find it I'm able to fit in Will I fit in? Sal Tlay Ka Siti A land of hope and joy And if I want to get there I just have to follow that white boy You were right Momma You didn't lie The place is real And I'm gonna fly I'm on my way Soon life won't be so ****ty Now salvation has a name Sal Tlay Ka Siti Link: http://www.vagalume.com.br/the-book-of-mormon/sal-tlay-ka-siti.html#ixzz3QysUlqN9
I ended up seeing it a week or two ago. Absolutely loved it. The Hobby Center had a deal where you show up about 2 hours ahead of showtime and could enter a raffle for $26 tickets. My gf and I went on a rainy day when almost no one showed up early so we got the heavily discounted tickets. Ended up being in the front row and center. Not the best seats to be in but still very enjoyable.
I paid 150 gbp per ticket for the London show in 2013. Demand is so high it is ridiculous but whatever. It is a good show.
