Seeing Book of Mormon has been on my list of goals since 2012. I just couldn't ever manage to be in a city where it was playing when it was playing. I even considered heading to LA to see it (at K Rob's suggestion) when in San Diego but couldn't swing it at the time.
So with over 10 years of trying to make it happen, how it actually happened was that Steph texted me last week saying they'd bought $25 tickets for a matinee and asked if I wanted to join. Then, I forgot to buy my ticket, and the Universe was like, girl, you've been wanting to see this for over 10 years. It then had Danielle buy a ticket when she forgot she already had tickets for the next week, which meant I got her ticket and got to go!
Y'all.
It was so so so fun.
Like, wildly offensive in that South Park way, but even better than I expected. The story is funny. The songs are hilarious. The cast was great.
It was just a super joyful afternoon with former coworkers, and I even got to see Danielle afterwards at happy hour.
I highly recommend the show... unless you aren't into obscenities and cursing and general dark humor or sacrelige. Then... maybe pass on this one.
