South Park duo's musical hits West End
| Quote: | The Book Of Mormon – the musical written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone – is heading to the West End next year.
On Broadway, where the show has been running for for 14 months, it won nine Tony awards and was described as ‘the best musical of this century’ by the New York Times.
The plot concerns two Mormon missionaries sent to Uganda, where they find the locals are too worried about war, famine and AIDS to care about religion.
Trey and Stone collaborated on the show with Avenue Q co-creator Robert Lopez, who has denied it was blasphemous when it opened in New York.
The Book Of Mormon will be staged at the Prince of Wales theatre in London. Tickets go on sale on September 13, with previews beginning on February 25.
Here is a number from the show:

I am so excited to hear the news that the Book of Mormon is coming to the UK! I've got my tickets alreadyyyy!
I saw it in America on Broadway last year and I laughed so much I almost wet myself! (And considering the sizable amount of coke I had drank before the show, this was some achievement!)
I have a few close friends who are Mormons and they seem to be really positive about the show too, they say that it raises the profile of their faith and only teases them in a nice way - I think I agree.
Any lover of South Park or Avenue Q (my second favourite musical ever after The Producers) will LOVE this!
I have booked two earlybird tickets for the show http://www.thebookofmormonmusical.co.uk/tickets/ and I want to take my brother because he LOVES South Park (I find it a bit creepy..but hey). I know the show is explicit, he is 14 almost 15 - will he be allowed in?
