Exmormon thoughts on the Book of Mormon Musical:
Tumblr media
The whole thing was spectacularly irreverent
*does some googling* oh its written by the creators of south park, that makes sense
The bright and cheery forced smiles of the missionaries are accurate
The set is amazing, with it looking like an lds temple and everything. The backdrop with the clouds and the planets even looks like the giant murals they have in the temple visitors centers
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love the salt lake city backdrop with the mormon temple right in the middle surrounded by the more obvious corporations like McDonald's and stuff. Did you know the LDS church owns a mall in the same city? It even has a little river going through it
Tumblr media
The spooky mormon hell dream sequence was the best thing i've ever witnessed. Especially as somebody who really did get guilt-fueled nightmares, albeit not as theatrical and hellish lol
Seeing the cups of coffee dancing in hell alongside Jeffrey Dahmer and Adolf Hitler was the best, my favorite moment
Tumblr media
The song about turning off your uncomfortable/unapproved thoughts was also amazing. The actual phrase commonly used is putting the thought "on your shelf" to set it aside to think about later. There's literally a song they teach to toddlers about never frowning because nobody likes it and making yourself smile instead.
Tumblr media
Hearing people crack up about things you used to believe sucks but finally you are surrounded by people who agree that this is ridiculous rather than people who think you are the crazy one for doubting
Mormons don't actually think Jesus was blond but they do think he visited America and most of the art makes him look northern European
Mormons don't really believe in a traditional hell or that Jesus hates you for sinning, but the level of guilt is still the same. Like that might as well be the case because your eternal afterlife is still at stake.
Tumblr media
The "I Am Africa" song is so on point. Missionaries go to a foreign country and really do start wearing their traditional clothes and keep speaking the language even after coming home as if they really are part of the culture now
I was not expecting to see punk rock Darth Vader or Yoda or lieutenant Uhura or Sam and Frodo.
Tumblr media
When Elder Price said "fuck," that was a blessed moment
I'm so glad I never actually went on a mission and could only relate so much. But that dedication to following all the rules in the missionary handbook is REAL and not even as intense as they portrayed it at times. The religious scrupulosity OCD is like no other. Like it's not unheard of for a missionary to keep working on their mission even if their mom or someone died while they were away.
There are still so many weird things about growing up mormon that they didn't even touch on. Like heaven being an MLM, multiple levels and everything.
Thanks for the read, feel free to ask any questions if you're curious because I like complaining about mormonism lol

Last month I was able to see these two wonderful shows and I can’t express how insane the experience was
Tumblr media
I still can’t believe it happened and that Andrew and Christian were before my very eyes, DREAM COME TRUE
And omg J. too, literally my idol
I was able to meet most of the SLIH cast at the stage door and they were all so sweet, especially Kevin Del Aguila, absolute ray of sunshine

I'm moving and was going through my books today and found the Book of Mormon script book I bought in like 2016 so I could illustrate Kevin Price's coffee monologue and opened it up to the Spooky Mormon Hell Dream section and this line has no right to be so funny

Reblog for a bigger sample size - for bonus points tag your favorite musical(s) that didn't win this decade but maybe should have!
Polls for other decades
---
A second attempt at this poll since in my first one I accidentally skipped Gentleman's Guide and made the duration 1 day when the others were 1 week. So for science we're trying this one again.
Also to clarify since I've gotten some shade about my choices on these polls: these polls are specifically about winners of the Tony Award for Best Original Musical broken down by decade, not some arbitrary shows I'm picking. Anyway, I have one for each decade so go vote in all of them! :)

Looking for theatre friends
Hi, my name's Aron. I've been a musical nerd/theatre kid for as long as I can remember if I'm being honest. I remember how big the fandom was in 2018, but I haven't really interacted with anyone since then. So we're gonna try to change that! My favorite musicals are: - Spies Are Forever - In Trousers - Falsettos (I have a preference for the original 1992 musical, but I like the 2016 revival as well. The Marvin Trilogy is my favorite ever) - Something Rotten - Next To Normal - Rocky Horror - Ride The Cyclone Other musicals I enjoy are: - A New Brain - The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee - The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals - Holy Musical B@man! - Avenue Q - Six - The Book of Mormon - Beetlejuice - School of Rock - Bare: A Pop Opera - Phantom of The Opera - Heathers - Little Shop of Horrors - Hairspray - Legally Blonde - Waitress - Bring It On - Firebringer - Trail to Oregon - Jekyll & Hyde - Bonnie and Clyde
And many more! My musical playlist is over 24 hours. I'm currently trying to get into Anastasia, Hadestown, Eurydice, and The Lightning Thief. I'm re-watching Starkid shows right now, especially since Nerdy Prudes Must Die just came out.
