'Hasa Diga Eebowai' In 2011, a musical full of curse words and
Mormon missionaries swept that year's Tony Awards and was praised
as a triumphant return of the American musical. This book explores
the inherent achievements (and failures) of The Book of Mormon-one
of the most ambitious, and problematic, musicals to achieve
widespread success. The creative team members-Matt Parker, Trey
Stone and composer Robert Lopez-were collectively known for their
aggressive use of taboo subjects and crude, punchy humor. Using the
metaphor of boxing, Granger explores the metaphorical punches the
trio delivers and ruminates over the less-discussed ideological
wounds that their style of shock absurdism might leave behind. This
careful examination of where The Book of Mormon succeeds and fails
is sure to challenge discussion of our understanding of musical
comedy and our appreciation for this cultural landmark in theatre.
