Review of The Book of Mormon at the Prince of Wales Theatre
By Oliver Mitford Thursday, February 13 2014, 15:22

There has been a lot of media coverage of new musical The Book of Mormon due to a PR campaign that could rival a major Hollywood blockbuster, but what they all fail to mention is that this musical is of celestial nature in more than one way. The production doesn’t just deal with religion in song and dance; it leaves audiences practically walking on air, if not on water. The Book of Mormon is truly the last supper of musical theatre, as the pleasure-giving, awe-inspiring, riotously funny show feeds its audience with delicious entertainment to rival all others.
