by Roy Berko - September 19, 2017

BWW Review: Irreverent "Book of Mormon" Delights in Return Visit at State Theatre
by Roy Berko - September 14, 2017
One of the major concerns in attending a return visit by a Broadway touring show is that the production will be a lesser version. Those planning on attending 'Book of Mormon,' now on stage at the State Theatre, should have no fears. This reincarnation is equally good as any of the other versions that have trucked into town. In fact, it is probably better than some of the others.
