Mormonism Has Made Alex Boye Completely Lose His Mind.

Post by _Everybody Wang Chung »

In what can only be described as extremely bizarre, Alex Boye is trying to capitalize on the smash Broadway hits, Hamilton and the Book of Mormon by creating his own musical about Joseph Smith:

Good Lord! What a train wreck. It’s almost as bad as the Witness trailer.

With the three lead rappers being Black I guess a bit of a history rewrite was inevitable. They must be so desperate to stop the Millenials leaving.

Young Joseph doing his rap dance in the middle of the performance was really cool. He's cute, energetic, sounds great, and overall visually pleasing. Lot's of sexual moves going on throughout the performance. I hope they move forward in doing more. It won't be good for the church and what's not good for the church is good for me.

:twisted:

Joseph Smith and 14 year old girls! I would love to see that performed and watch NelSatan's dentures fall out as he gasps for air.

This is going to be a cultural phenomenon for Mormons.

Just you wait.

Let’s hope it gets off the ground. I would love to see the finished product.

So far, the project has only raised a few hundred dollars:

It was made up from the start, so why not make up a new narrative and sell that? As long as you believe it, it is true for you.

Is there going to be an episode where the stars get taught how they were somehow less than in the pre-existence?

Dr Peterson needs to redirect all Witnesses film moneys to this project. That and all the money they've been given Skousen on his critical text project. f

There's a far more worthy cause here.
