South Park Duo to Skewer Mormons—on Broadway

(Newser Summary) – Canadians can rest easy. The creators of South Park are ready to offend an entirely new population—Mormons, reports the New York Post. This time, though, they will do so not on the big screen or the small screen but on Broadway. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are bringing the Mormon Musical to the Great White Way with the help of Avenue Q creator Robert Lopez.

The new show, which starts rehearsals next month, is "hilarious—very acerbic and biting," says star Cheyenne Jackson. "It offends everybody."
