Book of Mormon Wins Best Musical at the 65th Annual Tony Awards

[5teampunker]

I love comedians that make even award speeches hilarious lol

[incrediblehulkmovies]

Is Trey Parker a mormon? He seems very interested in the religion.

[coolgirl199742]

"You did it Joseph you got the Tony!" omg.

I really love this play. A lot. It's side-splitting funny.

I approve~

[marioandluigi101]

I'm a Christian. I do not think they made the show to make fun of all religions, just Mormons. They did have elements that Christians believe, because much of what Mormons believe, Christians believe. It's just the whole Joseph Smith thing that's different, which changes a lot of details. Screw Mormons :) I love you Trey Parker/Matt Stone/Bobby Lopez.

FLAMING IDIOTS

[bloopthis]

wow that is the closest to crying you will probably ever see Trey

[martin2132004]

Joseph Smith that crazy nigga

[Mr150Rob]

This guy is so rude towards the mormon faith.

[trisack]

@Mr150Rob thats because the mormon faith is retarded

[Mr150Rob]

@trisack Wow.-.-  do some research.

[Mr150Rob]

@trisack Really? That is a horrible explanation.

[klausweasley]

@Mr150Rob Not at all. Trey and Matt has said repeatedly that they love Mormons.

[Mr150Rob]

@klausweasley He still does critisize and make fun of the mormon church.

[klausweasley]

@Mr150Rob They criticize and make fun of ALL religion.

[maxwellutd]

@Mr150Rob they use mormons as the fore front but they making fun of any organised religion. they always say they respect the underlying principles and how it can bring familys closer together but they just like to ridicule the stories they actually believe cause lets face it. its damn retarded.

[marioandluigi101]

@maxwellutd this is my reaction to this comment. lo.ol. You can think of anyway to react to it I don't care.

[cdwadams]

@Mr150Rob I was raised Mormon. I was the president of my seminary class, a primary teacher, and conducted the music during sacrament service. I LOVE THIS SHOW!

[marioandluigi101]

@Mr150Rob XD

[austinthebookworm5]

@jancy82520

umm no I am agnostic/atheist

[AliaSparrow]

I think that's a cute suit Trey has. So purple and sparkly.

[jaraandrew100]

Is THAT ANDREW'S BOYFRIEND NEXT TO HIM!?!?!??!?!

[MorbidOverlord]

@jaraandrew100 Yes. They've been together for years :).

[BoggsDiamond]

huge fan, but I hate Trey's shirt.

[MsMedford]

@BoggsDiamond lol i know that shirt is very flaming XD

[austinthebookworm5]

I have seen it, and DANGIT! it is the best thing I have ever seen in my life.

[thefallofoscar]

suck it bono

[monopoman]

If you are willing to pay scalper prices you can get tickets for earlier shows :D.

[austinthebookworm5]

I should expect nothing less from the funniest musical I have ever seen (I have seen How to Succeed, The Producers and South Park Movie)

[timetest93]

If you fuck with the gays they will make a musical about you.

[HenkeFemton]

@timetest93

Are you implying Matt and Trey are gay? Perhaps I misunderstood you. They're not though. In fact I know at least Trey has had some pretty hot chicks.

[Superhumanattack]

Suck it Bono.

[sarmadasco]

I am with most of you that the speech was funny, very funny.I was imaging the faces of our Utah 'brethren's' faces dropping open at the mention of their prophet Joseph Smith and how he found and translated the Golden Tablets into English and how they said that the Native Americans ARE the lost tribe of Israel. If their 'religion' was not so outrageous with their planets and baths and plural families, compounds, etc....there would be no room for humor. They set themselves up. God forgive me.

[AliaSparrow]

@sarmadasco You know, you believe in terrible stereotypes that leads to hatred.

[carriewhite410]

I started cracking up the way he led up to mentioning Joesph Smith XD



[walterreallyy]

Just a question for anyone who may care to answer. Was Chris Rock a producer for this musical? Nad who's the bald guy with glasses behind Trey. He looks familiar.

[klausweasley]

@walterreallyy No, he's just the presenter. The bald guy with glasses is Scott Rudin, he's a big theater AND film producer.

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@klausweasley Scott Rudin won an Oscar for producing "No Country for Old Men" with the Coen brothers.

[ShinShoki]

wouldn't it be awesome after the speech that african guy shouts ' i still got maggots in my scrotum!' LOL

[SkJ2022]

I WANT TO SEE THIS SOO BADLY...BUT THE SHOWS ARE PROBABLY SOLD OUT TILL LIKE 2015 OR SOMETHING

[eyescandeceive]

@SkJ2022 I hear you can get tickets for January 2012

[carriewhite410]

@eyescandeceive Actually, when I went and tried to buy tickets, the website said the earliest show there are still tickets available for is September 2011. :)

[eyescandeceive]

@carriewhite410  Wow--good for you!!! Do you have Amex? I know there is some special Amex seating available but when I went to Ticketmaster and asked for earliest available seating I did not get anything until January.

[carriewhite410]

@eyescandeceive I actually didn't buy tickets because I'll only be there for one day in August, but I went through Broadway.com. That's as close to the source as you can get it--I'd trust that website a lot more than I would anything else.

[owwwkinky]

DVDA for lyfe

[Jaykay1029384756]

Lol, I was really shocked when he said that their co-writer died :D

[eKriZZLe]

your move now jesus..

[MrAnderson234]

greatest broadway i've ever seen. Can't believe it got best musical with the crazy profanity it had at times

[RytanEmpire]

Just more proof that nerds will rule the world forever

[NayUtah]

Mormons are so peaceful about all of this. That's why I respect them.

[Mysterwright]

@NayUtah Not the FLDS!!!!!! =))

[iKiki2k8]

@NayUtah thats probably because a good amount of mormons can take a joke lol

[mehdasaur]

I'm so goddamn happy for them. Trey and Matt looked so excited when they won the awards that they fully deserved. :)

[xl1ska]

Trey Parker is a fucking god. You can tell that this is truly the culmination of his life's work. This man deserves everything.

[subslament]

Its really great to see Trey so genuine and happy about this award.

Its awesome to see them achieve something they really do care about which is producing a great musical. Fucking hilarious too.

But yeah, comparing this to the Comedy Central "Comedy" Award speech was hilarious.

They totally did not give one fuck about that thing and made that episode about how retarded it was.

[AesopRockOn]

All I want to do is see this!

[nineteenct]

that tie is sweet

[vivi102]

You Did it Joseph You Got The Tony!!!!!!
