What is The Book of Mormon about?

The Book of Mormon is about the rigidness of religion. The show is a hilarious comedy created by the masterminds behind the adult series "South Park" - Matt Stone, Trey Parker and Robert Lopez. The political satire follows two young missionaries named Elder Price and Elder Cunningham who travel to a Ugandan village to try to convert the local people to the Mormon religion.

Elder Price is enthusiastic and dedicated to his faith, while Elder Cunningham is a nerdy truth embellisher who lands the duo in trouble along the way.
