There's talk of making a movie version of The Book of Mormon as well, but Parker and Stone are saying it's in the future "somewhere". I had some Book of Mormon tickets this summer and really enjoyed it. It would be great if a traveling production could come to the SF Bay area... one day.
I was able to see a few other Broadway Shows while I was there. I didn't have much interest in "Spiderman", but loved "Avenue Q". I love pointed social commentary, and got it in spades. Unfortunately, the movie will have to wait.
