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, 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.
