      @@blackdahlia42 I assumed it was because they had a somewhat captive audience and saw it as an opportunity for proselytizing. It doesn't matter if the audience knows Mormons are parodied in the musical. Proselytizing isn't really about converting outsiders. It's about reinforcing to the musical that the outside world is bad and safety can only be found within the religion. Encountering hundreds of skeptical theater attendees is a great way to send a "The outside world hates you" message to a missionary.

      @@blackdahlia42 Yeah, it's usually because of both of those reasons, (coming from a Mormon) I've known of missionaries who just took it as another opportunity to share the Book of Mormon with the few people who were nterested in the actual religion. (Same as when you see a movie that says "based of a true story" some people typically research how much was true)

Around here they often have black backpacks and ride bicycles as well. But no one dresses like that except the Mormons. I wish the JW’s dressed similarly. They’ve become a little trickier around here.

They got in the car and the girl looked over and thought she saw some of the actors outside in costume so she asked her mom if she could go ask them to sign her playbill. Her mom said yes and didn’t see any harm in doing so.
