Have you seen it? Definitely not for those who are easily offended (it was written by the writers of South Park). Saw it yesterday in Seattle and it was HILARIOUS! I would go see it again if given the chance. Never thought I'd enjoy a musical as much as I did

We saw it on Broadway and have never laughed so hard. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Full disclosure: I grew up extremely religious, as in speaking in tongues and constantly going to revivals (the documentary Jesus Camp is an accurate view of the camps I went to). I am now an atheist but I kept finding myself shocked that I was watching such blasphemy but then remembered I don't believe what I used to and went about enjoying the show.

We saw it last month in Portland. I've wanted to see it for a long time, but could not get tickets last year. But now ever time the young Mormon missionary boys show up on my doorstep, that song ("Hello") stars plying in mt head.

Haven't seen it but want to. I plan to see it in NYC next year if possible.

DW and I saw it in Indy a few weeks ago. It was terribly inappropriate and wildly hilarious - we loved it!

I was raised Pentecostal, not the no-pants-wearing-have-to-cover-your-head kind, but still hellfire and brimstone. But funny is funny

Glad it moved on to Seattle next!

I want to see it. I can only imagine how offensive it is. I love the disclaimer on the beginning of South Park I remember thinking "They haven't really offended me yet" and then one day - the show offended me and for one second I was offended, and then I was super excited that they finally offended me.
