      @@blackdahlia42 I assumed it was because they had a somewhat captive audience and saw it as an opportunity for proselytizing. It doesn't matter if the audience knows Mormons are parodied in the musical. Proselytizing isn't really about converting outsiders. It's about reinforcing to the musical that the outside world is bad and safety can only be found within the religion. Encountering hundreds of skeptical theater attendees is a great way to send a "The outside world hates you" message to a missionary.

    I like that Mormon missionaries have such a recognizable costume when they’re out in the field that they are easy to spot coming.

    So I'm LDS my little brother served in Oslo Norway and they have this play at one of the theaters there which they would sit outside the theater after the performance to give out copies of the book of Mormon to people as they walked out the theater. He said it was pretty fun doing that as people loved seeing real missionaries after the show.

They got in the car and the girl looked over and thought she saw some of the actors outside in costume so she asked her mom if she could go ask them to sign her playbill. Her mom said yes and didn’t see any harm in doing so.
    They weren’t actors

      @@jaex26 that's not Gad. It's his understudy Jared Gertner who took over when Gad left to film Frozen.

    Just saw Book of Mormon at matinee session today in Adelaide, Australia. Loved it! Made us laugh out loud. Standing ovation!

    Most fun I've ever had watching a show.
    Everyone in the audience had the biggest grins on their faces.

    Rory and Benjamin are without a doubt the standouts of this performance! Can’t take my eyes of them...
