The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is currently showing at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati through August 5. If you're ready to laugh and inwardly scream, "No they didn't!" then you have most definitely come to the right place!

As a group of young Mormon missionaries set out to ring doorbells and save souls, they probably never imagined the world that they would be plunged into. As they relocate to Uganda, they are in for much more than they expected, as the laughs and the hilarious innuendos seem to never end, with this light-hearted performance that looks at spiritual dogma in a new light.

With standout performances from Kevin Clay, Conner Peirson and Kayla Pecchioni, you're going to feel like you're tagging along on this brilliant journey, where you just may learn something about yourself in the process. If you can't laugh at Corey Jones in the role of the General, then you're going to need to re-evaluate.

With the book, music and lyrics by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone, and under the direction of Casey Nicholaw and Trey Parker, this show is a modern masterpiece. One minute you're laughing so hard that you're crying, and the next you're in awe that they actually said "that."

And to answer the age-old question, yes, it magnificently lived up to the hype. It's unique, it's entertaining, and it's a delightful way to spend a night out in Cincinnati.

The Aronoff Center is the perfect place to witness all that Broadway has in store for Cincinnati, so be sure to catch this unforgettable performance.
