Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of the hilarious TV show South Park, are the brains behind The Book of Mormon, the international hit musical. This riotous comedy has had audiences in stitches since 2013, and while it draws attention for its mockery of religion, it’s the emotion, passion and conviction of the show that has captured the hearts of its fans. The Book of Mormon tickets are on sale now.

Here's five reasons why we love The Book of Mormon.

Elder Price is a rising star amongst his church, with everyone expecting to see great things from this bright young Mormon. When it comes time for him to receive his mission from the church elders, his hopes of jetting off to Orlando are dashed when he is sent to Uganda. Not only that, he is paired with Elder Cunningham, whose challenging personality quirks and poor understanding of the church’s teachings don’t make him an ideal mission companion. Their task is to educate and convert villagers to join the Mormon church, but a local warlord is a challenge they didn’t expect!

What to Watch For

• Robert Lopez is also a co-creator of The Book of Mormon, and wrote both the book and the music.
• The Book of Mormon in London had its first performance at the Prince of Wales Theatre on Feb. 25, 2013.
• The terrifying General, whose expletive-laden name can’t be written here, is actually based on a warlord from Liberia. He is best known for going into a battle wearing only a pair of shoes and a gun.
• The Book of Mormon musical is loosely based on Mormon missionaries, who go on missions for two years to spread the faith. The play satirises real events in the Mormon faith.
