    Because of this performance "the Book of Mormon" is now my favorite musical ever! :) btw I was in the audience during this performance /.^ I really want to hug the tall dude though .-.

    Oh my gosh this was amazing. You guys did so good.The singing was superb! There were some many different choices that differed from the original, but I thought they were very interesting and only added to your performance. The spoken lines could be louder, but other than that, this was a really great performance! Elder Cunningham was brilliant!! Obviously being overweight in theatre will draw more attention to you (speaking from experience), but you turned that cartwheel and stole the show. I hope you guys get a big break some day and please keep doing what you're doing. This was fabulous!

    This was amazing and the fact that there is controversy over this performance should remind us all how powerful the theater can be as a sounding board for social views. We live in a country were we still have the freedom of speech and this is a good example of it. Theater is a reflection of differing points of view. And whither one likes what they see or not, it does speak certain truths when it holds a mirror up to society as a whole and reflects back what it sees.

    I was there and saw this is person, and I was so impressed - and thoroughly entertained! My son's school took second place in the competition with "Fiddler on the Roof," and I was so happy to see kids from both Book of Mormon and Fiddler telling each other how much they liked the others' scene. It was a great competition and I was proud of the kids from both schools. Congrats to these six talented kids on a great win! And congrats to Mira Costa for taking second with Fiddler! Both are awesome.

    Hey, if anyone has a problem with "The Book of Mormon," take it up with the writers, Trey Parker and Matt Stone (aka the creators of South Park. Not exactly "PC" guys), not these cool kids. They're just talented high schoolers performing a tiny cutting of a great show. I was lucky enough to see them here and in a parking garage (where, might I add, they were just as fabulous). Thanks for making Fullerton 20% cooler! And if any of you want to transfer to my school, we'd all be thrilled. ;)

    This year you could do any new published musical as long as the libretto or book were avaliable for purchase (either in book stores or online) so basically we could do any show or published piece of music that is available in stores :)

    @JamieDole 12 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    This is, by far, one of the better reproductions/covers I've seen around the Internet. I can see how, in the context of this specific performance, why Mr. Alexander was given a lot of small roles (McKinley, etc.) instead of that of Elder Price, because Mr. Alexander stood out immediately. The boy playing Elder Price seems to have a sweet enough voice, but the whole Orlando sequence is nearly ruined because he practically turns his already quiet voice away from he audience! Great overall though!

    @BornAgainstMormons Im very sorry if you were offended by this performance, we actually arranged a meeting with Mormon Missionaries before the show and talked to them about Mormonism, the Book Of Mormon, and what we were doing. They absolutely loved it, and so did about 40 other mormons that actually saw us perform at the festival. It isn't meant to mock, it is meant to satire and celebrate religion and our differences, plus, homosexuals have more of a reason to be offended by this than mormons.

    @jamieamundell 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    You guys were amazing! Great job on this! The only thing I would've said is you need to wait for the laugh line; like give a little time for the audience to laugh before you start talking again. It'll allow the audience to fully understand what's going on so they can hear EVERYTHING that's said. Plus, if you wait for the laugh, then they'll want to laugh more (don't ask me why) because they'll feel open to laughing without missing stuff. But other than that, everything was hysterical!

I hope if there's ever a travelling Book of Mormon some of you guys get hired! and I totally encourage you all to see it at the Eugene O'Neill Theare in NY. :) so cute. great job!
