I love this song. It's so fucking dark and the tune is so happy and upbeat. lol

The makers of South Park really create the most inconvenient earworms ever. Only yesterday I caught myself quietly singing "Being gay is bad, but lying is worse..." on a train :O

"My hetero side just won" *proceeds to do the most homosexual dance of all of time*

SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADD THAT SPINNING DANCE INTO THE ACTUAL SHOW STAT

The spinning bit at the end is perhaps the coolest thing I've ever seen.

"Imagine your brain is made of tiny boxes, find the box that's gay and CRUsh iT. OkAAAaaAy?" 👌🏼😂😂

I don't think people realize that the acting in TBOM is supposed to be stupid and cheesy.. Especially when the Elders are on stage. The musical was created to make fun of them, so..

"Find the box that's gay and CRUSH IT" .... BUT ALL THE BOXES ARE GAY

THE FASTEST COSTUME CHANGE IN HISTORY DAMN

My favourite part will always be when they all go down low for "Like a dimmer switch on low, on low"

At the show I went to: they would clap at times and the lights would go out, this happened three or four times but on the last time they were on the stage in the pink vests: was absolutely incredible.

Well, yes, some of the lines are sung by different characters than the Broadway musical, but that's not the point. The director was obviously working with the talents of his cast. So, come on, lighten up and enjoy a pretty good amateur performance.

I know this isn't strictly true to the original version - however, as a "showcase" piece (which I assume it is) the parts have obviously been divided up so each person gets an equal shot - it can't be denied that the cast are very talented - especially when it comes to the dancing - I loved it anyway :-) xxxx.

This song is painfully accurate to the experience of growing up in the Mormon church..... most of my childhood was about repressing my feelings; questions about what the church told me, wanting to be independent, not having an interest in the scripture.... I didn't dare admit I had those feelings. So I told myself I did, until I was old enough to leave.

I have a Mormon friend and this is do freaking accurate for him.

While it's not as good as the broadway number, basically no one has done it as good as broadway. Honestly this is the best version on youtube I've seen of this song, just in my opinion though.

I think I'm approximately 92% of these views.

You guys did a fantastic job and I can tell that all of you were having so much fun doing this. You guys took a song that is corny and cheesy (delightfully so, I may add) and I think made it even more so. Wonderful job.

I really hope all of these guys kept in touch after their performance. They look like they had a blast performing together. These guys are pros and you can tell they put everything they've got into this performance. Absolutely top notch.

The fouetté at the end was the best part.

THE DANCING WAS PHENOMINAL

i'm bothered that their name tags are on the wrong side :(

holy shit that spinning bit at the end though

**sees elder Mckinley** MY HETERO SIDE JUST LOST

Great job! The spinning dance needs to be an official move for broadway/original crew performances, holy shit.

Loved this! I've been looking all over for a pink waistcoat version and I've finally found one!! And I love the spin bit at the end - it's so clever!

It's totally wrong. Elder Price isn't gay, elder McKinley is.

You lose the quality of the music and singing in this version but the creepiness and acting is much clearer to see.

I love it! People actually give this piece of advise without any irony which is sad.. I wish I could post this video into real conversations

Why do they always turn this into a Company Number? This is supposed to be Elder McKinley's moment to shine! Oh well, good performance! Plus by breaking up the lines it kind of messes with certain jokes. Elder McKinley is supposed to sing "boys should be with girls it's heavenly father's plan" but while doing so sort of seem like he's still convincing himself. It's also really a much more affectionate parody than having one Elder forcefully tell another.

I'm surprised they haven't done a show here in Salt Lake City!! 😆😆 I want to see this so bad! I'm not a Utah Native, but I've lived here long enough to know about the Mormons. And this seems to be on point with it all!

As someone who desperately wants to leave the Mormon church, but can’t for the sole reason that I’m under 18 and living with my parents and numerous other factors, I can’t even begin to describe how this song feels to me. It’s super funny and accurate, but it’s accurate enough that I also feel really upset listening to it. The whole “Mormons are always super happy and friendly” shtick is very surface level, even if it is genuine. At least with how I experienced growing up as a Mormon, it was never directly said, but feelings are definitively suppressed, everything from sadness to anger to sexuality and especially doubt. All these little beliefs and principles has had my family stuck in an abusive situation for a very long time, and everyone thought it was completely normal. Luckily I’m no longer in an abusive I’ve situation, but it and the church itself has left lifetime scars on me. The church can teach some great things and make some people really happy, but don’t let a few good examples let you ignore some of the people who are truly suffering in the name of the church.

Ok this is the best remake one I have seen

I grew up in the church my entire life and was never convinced no matter how charismatic the voices. But this play is what flicked my switch. I now am a full believer knowing i can turn off the "reality" switch and turn on the mormon switch.

These actors got the characters SO GOOD

Watching all the different performances of this song, it's really cool how they add their own dances and along with the choreography (Like the spinning parts)

Oh my god the guy playing Elder Price is adorable!!! :3

I'm not a Mormon but my mom taught me this lesson you turn it off because if you get caught crying you will get a "real" reason to cry

I tried to turn my "tiny box of gay" off once... Lasted 2 mins....

I don't know how I have never commented before because I have watched this dozens of times. You guys are incredible!!

OMG, THAT WAS AMAZING! You guys gave a fantastic performance!

The way they changed it may have made it less accurate to the original music, but having multiple people sing some lines let them add in more harmonies, which is really important if they were performing for some kinda of showcase. Anyway, they did incredible. They were incredibly entertaining, both vocally and visually (especially the spinning at the end). They had incredible energy that just made you want to dance and sing along (even if you'd probably get slapped if someone didn't know what you were singing to). Can't wait to come back to this when I'm bored. 😂

my favorite musical and one of my favorite songs. genius

Very good! Thanks for sharing! I liked that they didn't just mimic the original. Nice turns!

That ending, wow!

This dance number is amazing, especially the ending.

choreography was amazing i loved when elder mckinely did the pirouette and the elders were jumping over his leg

I'm Mormon and this is pretty accurate lol

That was really well done! I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the Book of Mormon live yet, but this satisfied everything I thought the number would be! Great work gentlemen!

I must say this is my favourite version of the song, it's great

I get that the parts have been divided out and that, still, one of the best things I've ever seen!

The best cover I’ve ever seen

This is one of the best things I have ever seen lol I loved the dance soooo much

Damn this is some of the best choreography I've seen for this song

The trick with the a la seconde turn at the end was crazy

Mormans are amazing:) love everyone of them i know.

Simply a fantastic performance!!!

I love all the comments mentioning “that spinning bit” 😂

this is still so great omg

I would have yelled a lung out if I were in the audience. Awesome finish!

wow!! I want to see this show!!! how amazing!!

Super impressed with the quick change there. Amazing.

i love the one person clapping at the end of the tap break

I really like this interpretation of the song, now it sounds like they're singing this to each other at some gay conversion camp

saw the national tour do this last week at kennedy center...wonderful! you guys are as good as the pros. crush that box! lol!!!

That was gold!

This is absolutely great.

Did you know that I'm in love with this performance?

You guys did awesome!!!!

brilliant! im going to see book of mormon soon and i hope its like this!

The version I saw was really well done - they turned the lights off and then back on, and again, and then the third time when the lights came back on they had the pink vests on suddenly. Super surprising!

THE PIRTOUTTE/SECOND WAS INCREDIBLE

I'm still impressed by the spinning at the end

Es bueno ver el amor q demuestran los elderes durante su mision

A great production!

this is freaking amazing !

awesome guys!! you are great!!

This performance had the best tap dance compared to the other ones

This was great. Tremendous job

I saw it in Chicago yesterday. So coarse and hilarious !!!!

You guys are awesome.

This was *AMAZING*

Woah amazing job guys!

This is brilliant!

That was amazing!!!

"being gAy is bad, but lying is worse" My brain automatically: your making things up again ArnOld

Broadway is where you separate the pros from this kind of performance. It's still pretty good for amateurs, but you can't beat the real thing.

I love it!

Really well done!

Y'all rock!

SO GOOD

Really well done! Love that number and your big "not" gay tap routine was wonderful.

The acting could of been a bit better but the singing and dancing was great! The important part is that they sold it.

I just saw the show last night and these guys did a credible job! Of course the staging wasn't identical (one difference is that in the show when they clap, the lights go out like those clappers for light switches.) And when the lights came back, they were in the sparkly vests. But considering they weren't professionals, I congratulate them for a job well done!

i'm glad i found book of mormon

Marvelous!

AWESOME!!!!

in no way to attack the performance knowing just how hard quick changes are but this did kinda highlight how much it adds to the show seeing how good everything else was E: and I commented this just before the cast comes back after a quick change :V wonder if I am misremembering the live performance I saw 🤔

AMAZINGGG

its funny but the lyrics are terribly sad
