Doorbell rings and it's....

You might be expecting Halloween trick-or-treating neighbors but instead, it's the opening number of The Book of Mormon.  Ding Dong: this national tour production matches the verve, if not the sharpness, of the original Broadway production. The musical about two mismatched Mormon missionaries assigned to Uganda is a profane comedy with cheeky exuberance.  Not just a thunderous Broadway hit, it's a flippant assertion of demographic power, the irreverent voice of Gen X.  This 2011 best musical Tony winner can be seen at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood through October.
