'The Book of Mormon' came a-callin' to Thousand Oaks with its national tour - a fast-moving, crude but hilarious satire of those white-shirted, clean-cut missionaries.

BWW Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON is a Vulgar and Comedic Experience at the Landmark Theatre

The touring production of The Book of Mormon is now 'educating' and entertaining audiences in Syracuse's Landmark Theatre.

Whether you think the writers are mocking them or just helping you look at them in a different way is up for personal interpretation.

BWW Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON at Shea's Buffalo Theatre

Should I laugh out loud? What is everyone else thinking? Is this for real? These emotions and thoughts are not usually associated with a musical comedy, but THE BOOK OF MORMON is anything but your typical musical. The blockbuster 2011 musical from the creators of TV's 'South Park' can best be described as a brilliant and irreverent absurd extravaganza that would make the most uptight school marm giggle and blush. It's not often that the subject of a relatively modern religion could create enough comedy fodder to engage audiences all over our often racially and religiously divided country, but hold on to your hats for a whirlwind of comic genius. The national tour is playing at Shea's for the rest of this week.

And it's still so thoroughly delightful and awesomely entertaining that you might even feel as if you're seeing it for the first time.

BWW Review: BOOK OF MORMON Remains Spectacularly Hilarious
