ok, interesting thread. i have seen bom twice with the same elder price - not original cast. one of my favorite shows ever. brilliant book. here's my concern. i am wondering if Hello is lip synched. it is just too perfect, and it seems it is exactly like the recording. i know it would be very difficult for the actor to time his mouth perfectly to his own "hello" but still i wonder. the first time i saw it "I believe" seemed too perfect. it is such a difficult song to sing. it seemed effortless - i know - that's their job but he is second cast for gosh sakes. the second time i saw him i did believe he was actually singing. so i am wondering but -leaning on the side of them actually doing all the singing live. thoughts?
Hello is not lip-synced- it is simply a complex number carefully timed.
The only lip-syncing in Book of Mormon, as far as I know, is when a character lip-syncs to a recorded voice bit by Trey Parker or Matt Stone, the show's creators and South Park voice artists.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

In Two By Two (and Africa in general): Elder McKinley - Rory O'Malley Elder Church - Clark Johnsen (?) Elder Michaels - Jason Michael Snow (?) Elder Thomas - Scott Barnhardt Elder Neeley - Kevin Duda Elder Davis - Brian Sears Elder Schrader - Ben Schrader Elder Zelder - Justin Bohon
Lol, none of those elders are in Two by Two. After just listening to the song on my iPod, these are the elders in Two by Two:
Elder Price Elder Cunningham Elder Young Elder Grant Elder White Elder Smith Elder Cross Elder Greene/Green (which spelling?) Elder Harris Elder Brown
Theatre is my life. No one can take that away from me.
While we're on the subject, does anyone know who is doing the Solos in "Spooky Mormon Hell dream? Is the whole cast in this number (including Cunningham and Nabalungi?)

Oy, okay, so some of this is right some of it isn't...
To address the first list, most of the actor-to-character matches are correct, except these:/Elder Elder Church – Brian Sears Elder Michaels – Clark Johnsen Elder Davis – Jason Michael Snow
And it's "Elder Green"
And just to clarify, here's ONE list, in this order: Actor/Two By Two Elder/Turn it Off, etc Elder Rory O'Malley/Elder Green/Elder McKinley (I Am Africa: Main solo parts) [also plays Moroni] Brian Sears/Elder Grant/Elder Church (I Am Africa: "Noble Lion King" & "Tribal Woman...") Kevin Duda/Elder Young/Elder Neely Justin Bohon/Elder Smith/Elder Zelder (I Am Africa: "Monkey w/banana") Benjamin Schrader/Elder White/Elder Schrader (I Am Africa: "The Meerkat") Jason Michael Snow/Elder Cross/Elder Davis Scott Bernhardt/Elder Harris/Elder Thomas ("Poptarts") Clark Johnsen/Elder Brown/Elder Michaels
Also, Rory O'Malley is the voice of Moroni in the Prologue voice-over, even for the National Tour.

No. Cunningham used to be in it, in previews, but he's not anymore. Nabulungi never was. Mafala = Johnnie Cochran Elder Neeley = Hitler Elder Schrader/ben Widmar = Dahmer Kalimba = Genghis Khan The General = Satan The "You remember Lucifer!" "He is even spookier!" lines are Tommar Wilson and Lawrence Stallings (the Ghali/Middala tracks).

Another thing I would like to point out is a mistake I noticed In Two by Two. Elder Harris and Elder Brown are never given their locations. The voice calls them, then Elder Price sings his verse about how he wants to go Orlando, Flroida, and him and Elder Cunningham are called up. Did they just forget about Elder Harris and Elder Brown?

Oh, ok. I didn't know because I have never seen the show. I Am just going off the cast recording and YouTube videos. I'm waiting for the tour to come to my area.
