“The Book of Mormon” sweeps the Tony Awards

Sunday night, “The Book of Mormon” Broadway musical swept the Tony Awards, as expected. Of its 14 nominations, it ultimately won 9 Tonys, including best musical, score, book, direction and featured actress. When the musical’s creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker (of South Park fame) accepted the awards last night, they thanked Joseph Smith. “He couldn’t be here tonight,” they joked, “but—you did it, Joseph! You got the Tony!”

Andrew Rannells sang “I Believe”, probably the least profane song from “The Book of Mormon.” The performance was the highlight of the Tonys. Enjoy.

About Jon Adams

I have my bachelors in sociology and political science, having recently graduated from Utah State University. I co-founded SHAFT, but have also been active in the College Democrats and the Religious Studies Club. I was born in Utah to a loving LDS family. I left Mormonism in high school after discovering some disconcerting facts about its history. Like many ex-Mormons, I am now an agnostic atheist. I am amenable to being wrong, however. So should you disagree with me about religion (or anything, really), please challenge me. I welcome and enjoy a respectful debate. I love life, and am thankful for those things and people that make life worth loving: my family, my friends, my dogs, German rock, etc. Contact: jon.earl.adams@gmail.com
