The New York Times calls it “the best musical of the century.” The Washington Post says, “It is the kind of evening that restores your faith in musicals.” And Entertainment Weekly says, “Grade A: the funniest musical of all time.” Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show calls it “Genius. Brilliant. Phenomenal.” It’s The Book of Mormon, the nine-time Tony Award-winning Best Musical.
This outrageous musical comedy follows the misadventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries, sent halfway across the world to spread the Good Word. Now with standing room only productions in London, on Broadway, and across North America, The Book of Mormon has truly become an international sensation. Contains explicit language.
The show runs Feb. 26 – March 3rd at The Kentucky Center Whitney Hall.CLICK HEREto purchase tickets. (more…)
If you’re still piqued by the buzz that has surrounded The Book of Mormon since its first staging in 2011, you have just five more performances before the excellent production now at The Kentucky Center moves on down the road.
The cast features Louisville native and YPAS graduate Kayla Pecchioni as the female lead, Nabulungi, an imperiled member of a Uganda tribe whose world is changed by the arrival of a pair of missionaries from Mormon headquarters in Salt Lake City. Among an excellent cast of principals, her performance of the sweetly vulnerable young woman who comes to fall in love with the Lord and the man who makes the introduction completely beguiled me.
And whatever cost of the ticket, you’ll get your money’s worth from the over-the-top “Man Up” and the devilish “Spooky Mormon Hell.”(more…)
