Sold Out on Broadway, Musical Book of Mormon Becomes London's Smash Hit, Reports LondonTown.com

    LONDON, ENGLAND, February 18, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It's not often that a religious satire becomes a capital city's hottest in ticket in town, but the Book of Mormon has done just that. Created by South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone, this cheery musical about a pair of Mormon missionaries has successfully breathed a fresh breath of satirical air into London's entertainment business, creating blockbuster impact in the West End. LondonTown.com, as excited as any of the capital's entertainment hubs, advises audiences coming from outside the capital to book into London hotels early to avoid the stampede! For the show, which has already got critics and pundits buzzing with excitement, is predicted to become one of the West End's biggest successes.

The Book of Mormon won nine awards at 2012's Tony Awards and signals a potential new direction and inspiration for the creators of South Park. Fully sold out on New York's Broadway, the musical is predicted to have the same bill of popularity in London. Mormonism, a largely American affair, has piqued in interest and coupled with Parker and Stone's blunt satire may very well be received with open arms by the British public. The satirical pair have also been joined by Avenue Q composer, Robert Lopez, to produce what has been touted as the hottest ticket in town. Lopez's edgy lyrics and daring songs have propelled Avenue Q's popularly into the international space and promises to do the same for Book of Mormon. LondonTown.com asks, what's not to love?

The musical follows two fresh-faced young Mormon missionaries who find themselves posted to Uganda. The plot follows the pair through their various highs and lows as they explore their faith - all through the medium of the musical. Audiences should expect the type of ballsy humour characteristic of South Park as the Book of Mormon takes no prisoners. Not for the easily offended, some themes are unfamiliar to the West End, so approach with caution if after for a lighter evening out in the capital.

For those who enjoy wicked satire, biting comedy and quick wit, book tickets now to avoid biting disappointment!
