Mormon Musical Coming to Broadway

Posted by Formo-Mormo on November 18th, 2008 Comments (2,220)

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are taking a comedy musical about the Mormon faith to Broadway.

Trey and Matt have somewhat of a history of lampooning the Mormon faith through various projects such as the classic Orgazmo; in which a missionary starts acting in porn movies to make money in order to have a temple wedding, and the infamous South park episode All About Mormons.

‘All About Mormons’ became somewhat of an expose for people unfamiliar with the history of the church, and especially for members of the church who never knew about some of the non-faith promoting history of the church, such as the fact that Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon by placing his face in a hat, and didn’t even use the golden plates he purported to be in possession of. Those same golden plates were supposedly later taken back to heaven by the angle Moroni.

No doubt that this upcoming musical will be another entertaining chapter in the satirization of Mormons by Trey and Matt.

Alan Watts: Atheist philosophy, produced by South Park’s Trey Parker ‘n’ Matt Stone

Alan Watts is my bag, philosophically speaking. He was a 60-70s ‘entertainer’ who took acid, lectured from his Sausalito houseboat, and explained Eastern philosophy to the West in accessible terms.

Here’s a few of his views on the world, imaginatively elaborated through animations produced by the fabulous South Park team and visualized by Chris Brion & Todd Benson.
