National Public Radio (NPR) is streaming the audio to the hit Broadway show, The Book of Mormon, for free for a limited time. How long of a limited time is anyone's guess. Shane is taking me to New York for my birthday in August and already got tickets to see this show.
Previous to releasing the soundtrack on NPR, the show was very limited to what they would release. There were no video clips as far as I saw, which was unusual--just photos. The word of mouth, however, was very positive. It also got 14 Tony nominations recently, the most of any other show for the year.
NPR warns the audio is filthy, but streams the total content uncensored. The GOP is threatening to take away NPR's funding, but they aren't bowing to any pressure by restricting anything that may be controversial. Case in point, listen to the fourth track on the album, "Casa Diga Eebowai," a funny parody of The Lion King's "Hakuna Matada."

Coincidentally, while I was up at my mom's on Mother's Day this past Sunday, two actual Mormons came to the door to promote the Book of Mormon--not the Broadway show.
