Broadway musical The Book Of Mormon opens to standing ovation at Dublins Bord Gais Energy Theatre… – The Irish Sun

BROADWAY's smash-hit musical The Book Of Mormon opened to a standing ovation at Bord Gais Energy Theatre earlier this week.

Penned by the geniuses behind South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the irreverent satire about two Mormon chaps sent on a mission to a remote Ugandan village is a howl a minute.

Between blissful profanity, sacrilege and politically incorrect mischief, it's probably most anarchic fun ever staged at the Bord Gais.

Although the show runs until December 4, sources predict word of mouth will see the Mormons selling out with the theatre selling a limited amount of day tickets.

Ireland AM star Alan Hughes, Keith Walsh and his son Finn, Graham O Toole and Nathan O Reilly - Spin Radio breakfast presenters were among those attending.

Alan said: I Loved it such fun lots of shock value too with some of the lines but that added to it, the cast looked like they were having a blast."

Last week, we told how Alan Hughes and fellow Ireland AM presenter Muireann O'Connell donned grass skirts for Daniel O'Donnell.

The pair were speaking to the Donegal star as he released the clip for hissingle Down at The Lah De Dah.

The video features the singer working a standard nine to five but daydreaming about sporting a hula skirt and a Hawaiian lei while surfing waves, sipping cocktails and playing the ukulele.

Muireann and Alan dressed up as Hawaiian dancers as a tribute to the Donegal crooner, wearing a grass skirt and a flower necklace.

Taking to Instagram, Muireann said: "Daniel O'Donnell was chatting to us this morning and we had to get dressed up in homage to his new vid.

Daniel told the presenters on Ireland AM: "I love your attire."

Laughing, Alan said: "Thank you very much.

"We went all out for you this morning darling."

At the end of the interview, Daniel said: "Thanks a million guys, and thanks for dressing up."

Alan replied: "We have to give you one last show."

The Virgin Media stars then got up and did a hula dance for Daniel and the Ireland AM viewers.
