The Book Of Mormon - Broadway Cast Recording MP3 Stream on NPR

What a great way to start the week: listen to the full cast recording of The Book of Mormon!

The Book of Mormon comes from the creators of South Park and Avenue Q and is nominated for a Tony Best Musical this year.

NPR has the cast recording streaming your listening pleasure. Obviously, spoilers ahead.

From NPR:

"The sheer filthiness of The Book of Mormon shouldn't surprise anyone: Broadway's biggest new hit came from the minds behind South Park and Avenue Q, both shining examples of cheerful modern smut. With that provenance, (un)serious laughs were pretty much a given.

What wasn't so sure a thing — even when you remember how much fun the showtune parodies in the South Park movie were — was that it would work as a musical. Broadway musicals don't work like movies: Songwriting and show-building are both part science and part alchemy, and this time South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone were working not with veteran hit-writer Marc Shaiman, but with Robert Lopez, whose success with Avenue Q involved another collaborator entirely."
