Applauded as one of the highest-earning Broadway shows of all time, The Book of Mormon has been a certified hit all over the world.

The Book of Mormon is a musical about religious conversion, specifically Mormon missionaries named Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, as they are ordered to represent and preach their religion’s faith and teachings to a small local village in Uganda. They discover however, the local residents are indifferent to their preaching, as they are fighting against more dangerous issues. The pair then try different methods to convert the locals, with Cunnigham’s often involving adding fake stories to his religious teachings.
