Introduction

            

           For my topic I will be discussing everything that has to do with The Book of Mormon musical, mostly about what goes on onstage but a little bit of what goes on offstage also.  I chose this topic because I've seen the Book of Mormon twice, one on Broadway and one in Boston, and both performances were fantastic.  I would consider myself a musical person and I've seen many musicals.  In my opinion, the best musical out there right now is The Book of Mormon.  It’s comical, has talented actors, beautifully written pieces of music, fantastic dancing, and many more.  It’s as close to perfect as a musical can get.

            By choosing this topic I hope to inspire people to go buy a ticket for a magical experience.  If they don’t want to do that, then they can buy the soundtrack.  I bought the soundtrack and I can honestly say that I listen to it for fun all the time.  However, the soundtrack doesn't include all the songs in the show.  So if you want to get the full experience, buy a ticket and go see The Book of Mormon today!
