South Park Mor(m)on Musical Planned

By JARETT WEISELMAN – New York Post

They've blamed Canada and killed Kenny - now, the creators of "South Park" want to bring singing Mormons to Broadway.

The two most politically incorrect writers on TV, who revel in creating off-color antics in South Park, Colo., are crossing the Utah border - where they'll take on Salt Lake City Mormons in a new musical comedy.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "Mormon Musical" - written along with Robert Lopez, one of the creators of Broadway's puppet show for grownups, "Avenue Q" - will start rehearsals next month and star Cheyenne Jackson [Editor’s Note: Cheyenne (pictured above) is a former DADDY OF THE DAY], according to a report that first appeared on nypost.com's Pop Wrap blog.

The new show is "hilarious - very acerbic and biting," said Jackson, whose last Broadway show was "Xanadu."

It deals with the lives and loves of Mormons and "offends everybody, but [also] does what 'South Park' does best, which is by the end, it comes around and has something great to say," Jackson said.

If you have never seen the South Park episode All About The Mormons?, you MUST find it and watch it. It is a hilarious spoof of the actual beliefs of the Mormon church, featuring a Native American Angel, “Seer Stones”, and "Golden Plates". A chorus of “Dum, dum, dum, dum, DUMB!” is sung anytime this "truth is stranger than fiction" is depicted onscreen, and “Smart, smart, smart, smart, SMART!” when someone questions the ridiculousness of it all. Hysterical.

My mother reminded me the other day that when I was a kid, I couldn’t ever get the Mormon’s name right – I always referred to them as “Morons”.

Dum, dum, dum, dum, DUMB!!!!!
