There are two stand out musicals in my mind of the meagre few that I've seen that stand out as THE exact type of musical I will thoroughly enjoy. The first was the Evil Dead Musical. I saw this about a decade ago (probably more) with my sister and a couple friends. Really something to behold.
The other is the Book of Mormon.
With all the hyperbole it deserves this was truly the best musical I've ever seen. It was so well written, so greatly acted in (I dunno what the proper musical verbiage of “acted in” is), so beautifully sung. It was really just so fucking funny and a really great time from start to finish. I don't think I could suggest this to someone enough. If at any point you've ever thought you share a sense of humour with me, or even pieces of it, then it's really a disservice to yourself to not go see it if faced with the opportunity.
I think I can comfortably say we loved it. Not enough praise can be given. Really.
That's it. A perfect 5/7.
