      he doesnt tho. he just bends a bit to make the HAVE FUN IN HELL part more menacing. He keeps his look level. If he was talking to a kid he would have done like the guy who asks "Are these your kids?"

      well, *real
      *in the sense that it's a thing that exists
      ** not in the sense of failing to be a complete rip-off of the Bible by con artist Joseph Smith who passed off a fragment of the Tibetan Book of the Dead as being the Book of Mormon written in Reformed Egyptian

      @@blackdahlia42 I assumed it was because they had a somewhat captive audience and saw it as an opportunity for proselytizing. It doesn't matter if the audience knows Mormons are parodied in the musical. Proselytizing isn't really about converting outsiders. It's about reinforcing to the musical that the outside world is bad and safety can only be found within the religion. Encountering hundreds of skeptical theater attendees is a great way to send a "The outside world hates you" message to a missionary.

    I like that Mormon missionaries have such a recognizable costume when they’re out in the field that they are easy to spot coming. Around here they often have black backpacks and ride bicycles as well. But no one dresses like that except the Mormons. I wish the JW’s dressed similarly. They’ve become a little trickier around here.

      Michelle Barnes they wear black backpacks and ride bicycles where I’m at too! I actually thought it was normal for Mormons? Back then I never knew they were Mormons (I didn’t even know Mormons existed). I kind of thought they either attended private school, were travelers, etc. Don’t see them much anymore, I guess they finished their round here, but they always caught my eye.

      Really I just have two beefs about this song. One is that Missionaries travel in twos, they don't go to doors alone. The other is that in the BoM Jesus did not live there. He ministered after he died in Jerusalem. Those complaints aside I still love listening to this song.

    • @lumberg48108

They got in the car and the girl looked over and thought she saw some of the actors outside in costume so she asked her mom if she could go ask them to sign her playbill. Her mom said yes and didn’t see any harm in doing so.

      I went in blind as well. 2 weeks ago on Broadway. It really is the best way to see it. I'm going to see the traveling cast locally where the people are more conservative so I'm hoping the crowd is as good as it was on Broadway. I told my friends to not even THINK about looking up any songs or what the musical is about.

    God I fucking love Trey Parker and Matt Stone. They are easily the two greatest writers out there in the game. South Park is a completely game changing show, and this musical does not disappoint. Having started off in the episode of South Park, All About the Mormons, they have really made something unique and entertaining and amazing with this musical! Long live Trey and Matt.
