If you haven’t already bought your tickets for The Book of Mormon’s national tour stop in Cincinnati, don’t give up hope. If you have thought about going to see the musical but have not done so, I encourage you to find a way to get in before the tour leaves Sunday. A lottery drawing for $25 tickets takes place 2.5 hours prior to each performance.

If you are not already familiar, The Book of Mormon is from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. I’m sure most are aware of the explicit language and content associated with South Park, and the same is true for this musical. But it is absolutely hilarious and highly entertaining. It has won nine Tony Awards including Best Musical and critics have called it the best musical of this century!

I had the privileged of seeing the performance last Thursday night. The story follows two Mormon missionaries, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, who are sent to Uganda to spread the word of their church. Unfortunately for the young men the villagers in Uganda have no interest in their stories. That is until Cunningham alters the Book of Mormon stories to relate more to the problems the Ugandans face, but in doing so he has created hilarious falsehoods when compared to the original stories. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time and I would highly recommend seeing the musical.
