The one playing Elder Grant has a phenomenal presence! And, too, the whole group of you guys is truly enthusiastic. I would love to see you in that show!!!
I am Mormon, & I served a Mormon mission in Canada. But I just can't help but smile when I see this performance. It's a little campy and inaccurate but that's okay it is fun.
Same! Im also a mormon and i love this show so much! a few inaccuracies but I'm more surprised on how many facts they got right. its just such a fun show :)
Amazing to watch this nearly 7 years later and see how many of these performing arts students ended up in West End Shows - Wicked, Curtains , Matilda, Book of Mormon, Charlie and the Chicolate Factory. Plus tours - Top Hat, Cats, Club Tropicana, Grease, Wicked, Dirty Dancing, Evita, Saturday Night Fever, Book of Mormon to name a few. A very talented bunch
don't be upset....there was obviously a huge amount of work in the performance and it was a joy to watch. And your performers are terrific. Congratulations and well done.
This is fantastic! I performed a version of I Believe in spanish (I think it's the first version in spanish ever) some months ago, and I really enjoy to see how BOM is spreading all over the world. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Love this play so much. I'd love to see this live but the shows are apparently only in LA and the big cities. I knew a Mormon. He was really nice and he also cursed like a sailor. Was an odd mix really.
I didn't see any negative comments myself (maybe I just didn't look for enough back), but I thought this was absolutely amazing! You guys did a fantastic job and should be incredibly proud!
Yikes, who in the world would insult this? I think you all did a fantastic job! I challenge those that picked on you to do it themselves and see how well they do. It's very easy to be an armchair quarterback. Bravo!
Kia ora Daniel, NZ is a beautiful country, a very liberal secular Western democracy. Mormon Church in NZ is the 5th largest having arrived in 1853. Uganda LDS mission only began in the 1990's with 20, 000 members but rapidly growing, having a Stake Centre in Kampala.
Well performed - HELLO - it is so MORMON. Its also very funny and true. From one who had served an LDS mission in the Wellington MIssion in New Zealand. Elder Rob McKay.
I was born LDS, and I didn't serve a Mission. This is a tiny bit over the top, But it didn't hurt the performance too much. I myself have done a few covers from Book of Mormon. Hopefully you'll take a look at it. All negatives aside I can tell you guys put a LOT of work into this, Specially with making it your own. Great job!
haha, it's good for a college production, but I wouldn't classify it as "Broadway quality". The choreography & dancing is close to the Broadway production, but the singing and acting is still a far cry off. Still a great production, though.
The dancing is SOMETHING INCREDIBLE! But broadway is singing first, acting second, then dancing. Elder Grant should have played Elder Price and Elder Price should have been taller. Elder Grant definitely stole the show!
Congrats! you did an excellent job! People may think Mormons were shocked by this show, but it's not true, most love it, specially those who went on missions.
Wow. That surprises me. Truthfully I'm a way too lazy to read through all the comments on the video and I believe you. This is far and away my favorite version of 'hello' that I can find anywhere on the internet, including anything from Broadway. It seems like every time i watch it, I notice a new facial expression or motion and they are all extremely precise and well done, not to mention hilarious. I wish I could just watch the rest of the performance. :)
This was fun to watch! I had to laugh at how gay every elder was in this production. I know it's hard to play it down though they certainly achieved that in the Broadway version (campy sincerity, without going over the top). But for a college production I thought it was great. And for the record, I wish some of my mission companions had been this gay!
Lol, I love that you defended yourself before anyone even said anything to you. I did just want to say that this musical was made to be super-campy on purpose. It's making fun of how insanely happy Mormons seem to be all the time, ha ha.
In all choirs and performance groups it's likely that a lot of the males are homosexual, but that has nothing to do with the performance... they are directed to act that way for that style of theater or the style of the director.
Hi Micheal I thought I was the only member who found the elders gay-sounding! lol (no offense 2 my gay friends, however) I wonder if ur companions would've been as perky (if not more) had they been gay? lol

The musical was right! You guys are so fucking nice. You're awesome people.
Jaylie Piatt The Mormons are the Canadians of the religious world.
Ryan Ingram This is what I like to see, Mormons not taking it seriously because its somewhat accurate, but it's really overly exaggerated
It was hilarious. Yes, a bit inaccurate, but still hilarious. I have had 3 brothers serve missions so far! it's great and yeah.... xD rofl

My sexuality is whoever plays Elder Grant in this production
I agree
Jack E mine is elder smith😏
we only did these two songs. it was in a variety show thing :) would love to do the actual musical though!
Why are Mormons so attractive?
why aren't people laughing during the funny parts?
because they're dense as fuck
Eddie Marais I think the audience are laughing, its just the sound quality is no good. The crowd reaction at the end shows they get it.
They are laughing but the sound quality is so poor you can hardly hear them
Their enthusiasm is infectious! You can't help but be charmed by them! Awesome job! :)
I'm afraid I'm in love with Elder Grant D:
That audience has no humour xD
The sound is faint even at maximum volume. Otherwise it is great. Also the actors all look intensely Mormon!
This is the best performance of these songs i've seen yet.
I love a short elder price
Elder Price was so adorable! The piece was so magnificent!
don't be upset....there was obviously a huge amount of work in the performance and it was a joy to watch. And your performers are terrific. Congratulations and well done.
This is really great, omg. Usually I hate watching a show that's different from the original in any way but I love this. You guys are great :)
This is fantastic! I performed a version of I Believe in spanish (I think it's the first version in spanish ever) some months ago, and I really enjoy to see how BOM is spreading all over the world. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

No one will ever understand how much I love this! Great job!
wow you guys really did a great job! I just return from the broadway show. Awesome show!
I didn't see any negative comments myself (maybe I just didn't look for enough back), but I thought this was absolutely amazing! You guys did a fantastic job and should be incredibly proud!
One of the best covers. Well done guys
Glad you enjoyed it! & I'm also glad you didn't get put in Uganda like Elder Price haha!
Really great covers, you're theatre group is very talented :)
That's a great job! I really enjoyed it! :)

Saw it @ the Eugene O'Neil 3 times Loved every performance!
Well performed - HELLO - it is so MORMON. Its also very funny and true. From one who had served an LDS mission in the Wellington MIssion in New Zealand. Elder Rob McKay.
Thank God we dont get many of those kids in Florida lol. Crazy. 😂 fun performance though !
You guys are incredible.
i have watched the show in chicago, but this is so great!!!
I have to admit, I am very impressed! You guys did a fantastic job!
This is insanely good. I would love to see more!
I thought this was terrific, and very professional. In fact, I saw the play on Broadway and you all were every bit as good.
Such an amazing performance!! Great job!!! :)
Amazing performance, personaly i think the "Elder Grant" there outperformed the protagonists. maybe that dude should have had a bigger role.
best cover of "Two by Two" ! this is awesome !
This was brilliant!
I was born LDS, and I didn't serve a Mission. This is a tiny bit over the top, But it didn't hurt the performance too much. I myself have done a few covers from Book of Mormon. Hopefully you'll take a look at it.
All negatives aside I can tell you guys put a LOT of work into this, Specially with making it your own. Great job!
*Literally didn't know this was an unofficial rendition. Good on you guys!
That was awesome!!!!
Wow - so awesome!!!! amazing voice :)
Holy crap! I've seen tons of covers of both Hello and Two by Two, and this is by far the best of the lot. Amazing work guys!.
Would have loved to see you guys do "Turn it off" I bet you would nail it.
Congrats...this is funny!Great Job...greets from Vienna!
This is absolutely funny, and it's so good :-) It's funny and cheesy Mormon. I love it. :-) This is so polished and amazing :-)
this performance is really nice :)
If a mormon came to me I'd take a book anyway and end up with a collection... I'm bad at saying no
Ah wow! That's amazing! It's such a fun piece to do! :) x
Well done guys!!! Great job!
Excellent performance, broadway quality!
haha, it's good for a college production, but I wouldn't classify it as "Broadway quality". The choreography & dancing is close to the Broadway production, but the singing and acting is still a far cry off. Still a great production, though.

this is awesome omg
AJ Holmes as Elder Cunningham. I wish I could see the whole production of him playing the lead.
I really hate musicals but I love this one, it's so funny.
Great job!
this is a great example of what happens when your cast is made of everyone from choir with probably little to no theater experience...
Terrific talent, especially Elder Price in "Two by Two". But everyone's great!
It's not a normal day if I don't watch this at least 3 times... It really does look like a real broadway performance (in my opinion).
Congrats! you did an excellent job! People may think Mormons were shocked by this show, but it's not true, most love it, specially those who went on missions.
Wow. That surprises me. Truthfully I'm a way too lazy to read through all the comments on the video and I believe you.

Very very good guy amazing
It seems like you did a great job to me!
Welcome to the internet dude....
i saw this number at States and LOVED IT! The troupe who did it was amazing!
Who's playing elder price
The end made me so happy it was a clever way to leave
Would've loved to see you perform Hasa Diga Eebowai. lol
"so you dont burn in ...HEEEEEELLLLLLLLL-O!"
The dude who played Elder Grant... He's so funny!
Did they do Hassa Diga Eebowai? I haven't seen anyone have the balls to try that one outside of the original play yet. :P
What Uganda do about it Elder Price?
This was fun to watch! I had to laugh at how gay every elder was in this production. I know it's hard to play it down though they certainly achieved that in the Broadway version (campy sincerity, without going over the top). But for a college production I thought it was great. And for the record, I wish some of my mission companions had been this gay!
It sounds like they are British and are doing American accents. I love it though!!
They are... haha
Daniel Hope I knEW IT
thanks for answering, any chances of getting it for me? or put me in contact with your tutor?
Lol, I love that you defended yourself before anyone even said anything to you. I did just want to say that this musical was made to be super-campy on purpose. It's making fun of how insanely happy Mormons seem to be all the time, ha ha.
Why did they change the lyrics?
In all choirs and performance groups it's likely that a lot of the males are homosexual, but that has nothing to do with the performance... they are directed to act that way for that style of theater or the style of the director.
I went to see the Book of Mormon in Brisbane and I prefer this one 😂
OMG this is hilarious!
hi, I don't know i'm afraid. I think our tutor had them made x
So were you in this performance? If so, who did you play?
Were you in Orlando?
i cant hear it
I don't remember Elder Price being 5ft tall
BennyNeb & I don’t remember asking for your opinion on my height...
elder young is hoooot!!
I want to direct one of these. I hate when the choreography isnt like the real show :( Still good though
Would it have killed the one guy to shave? LOL. Great otherwise.
Kelly Anderson you’re right. Totally distracting and reminded the audience that this is an an amateur production.
great now when mormons come to my door and they say hello i bust out laughing
Elder Cunningham seens to me to be miscast and I have seen better elder price's. All in all is ok.
hahahaha love it
A for Effort
This can't even compare with the real thing.
But why is Elder Cunningham attractive
Elder Grant...
Bo Burnham is that you?
I cant hear anything from this video... not music... nothing.
+Sam Hosen There's a volume button you know
You never know.
Hi Micheal I thought I was the only member who found the elders gay-sounding! lol (no offense 2 my gay friends, however) I wonder if ur companions would've been as perky (if not more) had they been gay? lol
why is it so soft?
