We saw it in New York and thought it was hysterically funny.

Loved the clever lyrics and superb actors and staging

Hysterical parody of religion. (All)

But the satire of AIDs
Female circumcision
Raping of babies
Genocide

Help me find the humor, I really would love your feedback

It's called dark humor. Not everybody appreciates it, and that's fine. Different people like different things.

Patricia, it's interesting that you thought the parody of religion was funny, but not those other topics. I'm sure there are some who wouldn't even find the religion stuff funny.

Personally, I thought it was ALL very, very funny. I guess when it comes to laughing at serious topics -- you just have to go with the flow and accept that there can be comedy in anything. If you can't accept that -- well, then of course it wouldn't be funny to you.

Well I am going to Uganda and helping my friend who is adopting 2 children. So I was blindsided at the Book of Mormon and the African satire ;(
