As the story’s ultimate hero (NOT a spoiler 12 years later), Nackman makes his Arnold relatable and even grounded, implying over-the-top without compromising the character’s integrity - a delicate feat even in a show that’s designed to push and poke a great deal. Nackman’s role is scene-stealing and he does just that with an array of vocal tones and facial reactions and tight comic timing, tossing a bit of Julia Sweeney’s androgynous Pat O’Neill Riley character into his portrayal. “Mormon’s” leads are crucial, of course, and Sam Nackman (Elder Arnold Cunningham) and Sam McLellan (Elder Price) are spot-on the show’s endearing odd couple. It may not turn everybody away from their chosen version of the Bible, but “Mormon” lightens the load of any faith. Even those seeing “Mormon” for the first time likely know what they’re getting into and check their sensitivities at the door. What once stunned and even offended is now comfortable - still edgy, but entirely acceptable, perhaps partly owing to the more profound wickedness found every day on social media. If you drank a shot every time an F-bomb dropped you’d be blotto halfway through the first act.Īnd rest assured that you’ll never look at amphibians the same way after seeing this show.īut at this juncture “The Book of Mormon,” which follows young missionaries in their attempt to convert a small village in Uganda to the faith of Joseph Smith, has woven its way into the cultural fabric. The show’s razor-sharp jabs at spiritual piety are still audacious and jaw-dropping - Google the translation of “Hasa Diga Eebowai” - but wickedly funny. The nine-time Tony Award-winning religious satire written by “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone along with composer Robert Lopez - at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre through Sunday, March 19 - certainly hasn’t lost its bite over time.
