Plot Details Revealed for BOOK OF MORMON - Dahmer Cameo & More!

In a Vogue profile out today, THE BOOK OF MORMON creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone speak candidly about the show's inspiration, and what audiences can expect from the new musical. which opens on Broadway in March.

On the show's origins, says Parker: "Mormons are so Disney and Rodgers & Hammerstein to begin with that it makes perfect sense for them to break into song...That's why, in many ways, this feels like a traditional musical. You're being cheesy and corny and all-but that's who Mormons naturally are."

They reveal of the show's plot: "The plot focuses on a missionary odd couple-Elder Price (Andrew Rannells), a golden boy with a sense of destiny, and Elder Cunningham (Josh Gad), a tubby loser with a desperate need to be liked-who are sent to Uganda...[The show makes] fun of the conventions of musical theater even as they celebrate them, with echoes of classic shows from The Music Man to Fiddler on the Roof ([and] an elaborate nightmare sequence in hell, complete with Adolf Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer, and a Starbucks).
