Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON at ASU Gammage
by Herbert Paine - Jan 7, 2026
In a theatrical era where standing ovations are dispensed like party favors, THE BOOK OF MORMON at ASU Gammage on its opening night elicited a reaction that felt less like polite approval and more like an arena rock concert. Audiences weren’t just clapping, they were erupting, unable to contain their sheer delight.

Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON at Van Wezel
by Jacob Ruscoe - Dec 10, 2025
I first saw The Book of Mormon in 2011, the year it opened on Broadway. I remember it being ok but disappointed in the overall performance. Years later (in 2022) I gave the show another chance on a trip to NYC and I wondered how my view could have been so different than the first time I saw it.
