'The Book of Mormon' is a religious satire musical that pokes fun at the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The book, lyrics, and music, were written by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone. Best known for creating the animated comedy South Park, Parker and Stone co-created the music with Lopez, the co-composer/co-lyricist of Avenue Q, and, subsequently, Frozen.
'The Book of Mormon' follows two Mormon missionaries as they attempt to share their scriptures with the inhabitants of a remote Ugandan village.
The earnest young men are challenged by the lack of interest of the locals, who are preoccupied with more pressing troubles such as AIDS, famine, and oppression from a warlord.
