A bold work. "She was Janice Kapp Perry’s cousin’s sister-in-law’s neighbor, so...ya know - connections." << yep, the play has Utah down pat. This is an interesting example of something sorely lacking in modern American theatre - plays with regional color - Inge had Kansas, Wilson had Pittsburgh, O'Neill, New England - Yurth Harmon has brought forth an unabashedly Utah play - with 1,001 references for those who know. To top it off, the thing is a musical and turns the Mormon tradition of the road show on its head. Cumorah's next stop should be Jakarta.
