Lopez revealed that South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was highly influential in the creation of Avenue Q.<a href="#cite_note-lopezint-7">[7]</a> The quartet went for drinks afterwards and soon found that each camp wanted to write something involving Joseph Smith.<a href="#cite_note-hr-4">[4]</a> The four began working out details nearly immediately, with the idea to create a modern story formulated early on.<a href="#cite_note-hr-4">[4]</a> For research purposes, the quartet took a <a href="/wiki/Road_trip" title="Road trip">road trip</a> to <a href="/wiki/Salt_Lake_City" title="Salt Lake City">Salt Lake City</a>, where they "interviewed a bunch of missionaries—or ex-missionaries."<a href="#cite_note-freshair-1">[1]</a> They had to work around Parker and Stone's South Park schedule.<a href="#cite_note-Time1-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> In 2006, Parker and Stone flew to <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a>, where they spent three weeks with Lopez, who was working on the <a href="/wiki/West_End_theatre" title="West End theatre">West End</a> production of Avenue Q. There, the three wrote "four or five songs" and came up with the basic idea of the story. After an argument between Parker and Marx, who felt he was not getting enough creative control, Marx was separated from the project.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> For the next few years, the remaining trio met frequently to develop what they initially called The Book of Mormon: The Musical of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "There was a lot of hopping back and forth between L.A. and New York," Parker recalled.<a href="#cite_note-hr-4">[4]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Song_alterations">Song alterations</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Book_of_Mormon_(musical)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Song alterations">edit</a>]</div> Numerous changes were disclosed between the original script and the final production. A song named "<a href="/wiki/Family_Home_Evening" title="Family Home Evening">Family Home Evening</a>", which was in early workshops of the show, was cut. The warlord in Uganda was called <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Kony" title="Joseph Kony">General Kony</a> in previews but this was changed to <a href="/wiki/General_Butt_Naked" title="General Butt Naked">General Butt Fucking Naked</a>. The song "The Bible Is A Trilogy" went through a major rewrite to become "All-American Prophet". The earlier version was based on how the third movie in movie trilogies is always the best one and sums up everything, which led to a recurring <a href="/wiki/The_Matrix" title="The Matrix">Matrix</a> joke where a Ugandan man said, "I thought the third Matrix was the worst one," which later changed to "I have maggots in my scrotum" in the rewritten version.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> The song "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream" was originally called "H-E Double Hockey Sticks". <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Workshops">Workshops</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Book_of_Mormon_(musical)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Workshops">edit</a>]</div> Lopez pushed to <a href="/wiki/Workshop_production" title="Workshop production">workshop</a> the project, which confused Parker and Stone, who were not familiar with the practice.<a href="#cite_note-hr-4">[4]</a> Developmental workshops were directed by <a href="/wiki/Jason_Moore_(director)" title="Jason Moore (director)">Jason Moore</a> and starred <a href="/wiki/Cheyenne_Jackson" title="Cheyenne Jackson">Cheyenne Jackson</a>.<a href="#cite_note-id-11">[11]</a> Other actors in readings included <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Walker_(actor)" title="Benjamin Walker (actor)">Benjamin Walker</a> and Daniel Reichard.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes-12">[12]</a> The crew embarked on the first of a half-dozen workshops that would take place during the next four years, ranging from 30-minute mini-performances for family and friends to much larger-scale renderings of the embryonic show. They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own money, still unconvinced they would take it any further.<a href="#cite_note-hr-4">[4]</a> In February 2008, a fully staged reading starred Walker and <a href="/wiki/Josh_Gad" title="Josh Gad">Josh Gad</a> as Elders Price and Cunningham, respectively.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes-12">[12]</a> Moore was originally set to direct, but left the production in June 2010.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes-12">[12]</a> Other directors, including <a href="/wiki/James_Lapine" title="James Lapine">James Lapine</a>, were optioned to join the creative team, but the producers recruited <a href="/wiki/Casey_Nicholaw" title="Casey Nicholaw">Casey Nicholaw</a>.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes-12">[12]</a> A final five-week workshop took place in August 2010, when Nicholaw came on board as choreographer and co-director with Parker.<a href="#cite_note-hr-4">[4]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Broadway_premiere">Broadway premiere</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Book_of_Mormon_(musical)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Broadway premiere">edit</a>]</div> Producers Scott Rudin and <a href="/wiki/Anne_Garefino" title="Anne Garefino">Anne Garefino</a> originally planned to stage The Book of Mormon <a href="/wiki/Off-Broadway" title="Off-Broadway">off-Broadway</a> at the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Theatre_Workshop" title="New York Theatre Workshop">New York Theatre Workshop</a> in summer 2010, but opted to premiere it directly on <a href="/wiki/Broadway_theatre" title="Broadway theatre">Broadway</a>, "[s]ince the guys [Parker and Stone] work best when the stakes are highest."<a href="#cite_note-nytimes-12">[12]</a> Rudin and Garefino booked the <a href="/wiki/Eugene_O%27Neill_Theatre" title="Eugene O'Neill Theatre">Eugene O'Neill Theatre</a> and hired key players while sets were designed and built.<a href="#cite_note-hr-4">[4]</a> The producers expected the production to cost $11 million, but it came in under budget at $9 million.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes-12">[12]</a> Hundreds of actors auditioned and 28 were cast.

Price believes if he prays enough, he will be sent to <a href="/wiki/The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints_in_Florida" title="The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Florida">Orlando, Florida</a> for his two-year mission. However, he and Elder Arnold Cunningham, an insecure, pop culture-obsessed compulsive liar, find out that they will instead be sent to <a href="/wiki/The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints_in_Uganda" title="The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Uganda">Uganda</a> as a pair ("Two by Two"). Price is sure he is destined to do something incredible, while Cunningham is just happy to follow ("You and Me (But Mostly Me)"). Upon arrival in northern <a href="/wiki/Uganda" title="Uganda">Uganda</a>, the two are robbed by soldiers of a local warlord, <a href="/wiki/General_Butt_Naked" title="General Butt Naked">General Butt Fucking Naked</a>. They are welcomed to the village by Mafala Hatimbi, where a group of villagers share their daily reality of living in appalling conditions while being ruled by the General. To help them feel better in times of trouble, the villagers repeat a phrase that translates as "Fuck you, God!"<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> ("Hasa Diga Eebowai"). Price and Cunningham are led to their living quarters by Nabulungi, Mafala's daughter. They meet their fellow missionaries stationed in the area, who have been unable to convert anyone to the Church. Elder McKinley, the district leader, teaches Price and Cunningham to <a href="/wiki/Thought_suppression" title="Thought suppression">suppress upsetting ideas</a> ("Turn It Off"). By the time they go to bed that night, Price is riddled with anxiety, but Cunningham reassures him that he will succeed and that, as his companion, Cunningham will be by his side no matter what ("I Am Here for You"). Price is confident he can succeed where the other elders have failed, teaching the villagers about <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Smith" title="Joseph Smith">Joseph Smith</a> through a song that begins as a tribute to Smith but eventually descends into a tribute by Price to himself ("All-American Prophet"). The General arrives and announces his demand for the <a href="/wiki/Genital_modification_and_mutilation" title="Genital modification and mutilation">genital mutilation</a> of all female villagers. After a villager protests, the General murders him. Taking every last measure to protect her, Mafala commands Nabulungi to stay in their house with all the doors locked and windows closed. She protests, insisting that the women of the village will not have to stay in hiding if they listen to the missionaries, as they hold the secrets to liberation, protection, and eternal happiness. Though her protests to go out and talk to them fail, she calms down after remembering how she was moved by Price's promise of an <a href="/wiki/Zion_(Latter_Day_Saints)" title="Zion (Latter Day Saints)">earthly paradise</a> and dreams of going to live in <a href="/wiki/Salt_Lake_City" title="Salt Lake City">that new land</a> with all of her fellow villagers ("Sal Tlay Ka Siti"). The <a href="/wiki/Mission_president" title="Mission president">mission president</a> has requested a progress report on their mission. Shocked by the execution and the reality of Africa, Price decides to abandon his mission and requests a transfer to Orlando. At the same time, Cunningham, ever loyal, assures Price he will follow him anywhere. However, Price unceremoniously dumps him as mission companion ("I Am Here for You [Reprise]"). Cunningham is crushed and alone, but when Nabulungi comes to him, wanting to learn more about the <a href="/wiki/Book_of_Mormon" title="Book of Mormon">Book of Mormon</a> and having convinced the villagers to listen to him, Cunningham finds the courage to take control of the situation ("Man Up"). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Act_II">Act II</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Book_of_Mormon_(musical)&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Act II">edit</a>]</div> Cunningham attempts to teach the Book of Mormon to the villagers, but when they begin to get frustrated and leave, Cunningham quickly makes up stories by combining what he knows of LDS Church doctrine with pieces of science fiction and fantasy. Cunningham's conscience (personified by his father, Joseph Smith, <a href="/wiki/Hobbits" class="mw-redirect" title="Hobbits">Hobbits</a>, Lt. <a href="/wiki/Uhura" class="mw-redirect" title="Uhura">Uhura</a>, <a href="/wiki/Darth_Vader" title="Darth Vader">Darth Vader</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Yoda" title="Yoda">Yoda</a>) admonishes him, but he rationalizes that if it helps people, it surely cannot be wrong ("Making Things Up Again"). Meanwhile, Price joyfully arrives in Orlando, but then realizes that he is dreaming his childhood nightmares of Hell and sees <a href="/wiki/Jesus" title="Jesus">Jesus</a>, <a href="/wiki/Satan" title="Satan">Satan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Genghis_Khan" title="Genghis Khan">Genghis Khan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jeffrey_Dahmer" title="Jeffrey Dahmer">Jeffrey Dahmer</a>, <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Johnnie_Cochran" title="Johnnie Cochran">Johnnie Cochran</a>, who all call him out on abandoning Cunningham ("Spooky Mormon Hell Dream"). Price wakes up and decides to re-commit to his mission. Cunningham announces several Ugandans are interested in the church, but McKinley points out that unless the General is dealt with, no one will convert. Price, seeing this as his chance to prove his worth, sets off on the "mission he was born to do." After re-affirming his faith, he confronts the General, determined to convert him ("I Believe"). The General is unimpressed and drags Price away. Cunningham concludes his preaching, and the villagers are <a href="/wiki/Baptism_in_Mormonism" title="Baptism in Mormonism">baptized</a>, with Nabulungi and Cunningham sharing a tender moment as they do ("Baptize Me"). The missionaries feel oneness with the people of Uganda and celebrate ("I Am Africa"). Meanwhile, Price is seen in the village doctor's office, having the Book of Mormon removed from his <a href="/wiki/Rectum" title="Rectum">rectum</a>. The General hears of the villagers' conversion and resolves to kill them all. Having lost his faith, Price drowns his sorrows in <a href="/wiki/Mormon_foodways#Dietary_law,_fasting,_and_sacrament_bread" title="Mormon foodways">coffee</a>. Cunningham finds Price and tells him they need to at least act like mission companions, as the mission president is coming to visit the Ugandan mission. Price reflects on all the broken promises the church, his parents, his friends, and life in general made to him ("Orlando"). Nabulungi and the villagers perform a pageant for the mission president to "honor [him] with the story of <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Smith" title="Joseph Smith">Joseph Smith</a>, the American <a href="/wiki/Moses" title="Moses">Moses</a>", which reflects the distortions put forth by Cunningham, such as having sex with a frog to cure their <a href="/wiki/HIV/AIDS" title="HIV/AIDS">AIDS</a> ("Joseph Smith American Moses"). The mission president is appalled, orders all the missionaries to go home, and tells Nabulungi that she and her fellow villagers are not members. Nabulungi, heartbroken at the thought that she will never reach paradise, curses God for forsaking her ("Hasa Diga Eebowai [Reprise]"). Price has had an epiphany and realizes Cunningham was right all along: though scriptures are important, what is more important is getting the message across ("You and Me (But Mostly Me) [Reprise]"). The General arrives, and Nabulungi is ready to submit to him, telling the villagers that Cunningham's stories are untrue. She also explains that they will never see him again, but protects his reputation in their eyes by saying a lion ate him. To Nabulungi's shock, they respond that they have always known that Cunningham's stories were <a href="/wiki/Metaphor" title="Metaphor">metaphors</a> rather than literal truth. Price and Cunningham arrive, and, believing Cunningham to be a reincarnated dead person, the General flees. Price rallies the members of the Church and the Ugandans to work together to make this their paradise. Later, the newly minted Ugandan elders (including the General) go door to door to evangelize with "The Book of Arnold" ("Tomorrow Is a Latter Day"/"Hello! [Reprise]"). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Music">Music</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Book_of_Mormon_(musical)&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Music">edit</a>]</div>
