That is the price of our next video game system plus a few games. That is half the price of a decent computer. That is the price of a week-long science field trip to Catalina for Little Robin. That is the price of TWO trips up to the Champagne Room with Fifi. There MUST be a cheaper way to see a maggot-infested scrotum (and I've heard it's fake).

      Good call choosing for something more lasting as opposed to being only entertained for an evening.

        You could coin that phrase and turn it into a real missionary moment:

                Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

                      Yeah, I like it. It's just for the LA show I guess. Downside is that this guy looks like a Ute fan:

                            I think this is like s lot of the PR the church does. It is less about conveying a message to non-Mormons than it is about "rallying the base" so to speak. The main impact of the add will be among the faithful, not people who attend the play. Not that there is anything wrong with that, the "I'm a Mormon" campaign is more or less the same thing, IMO.

                              Yes! I know she's been on other Mormon ads before, I think they are still in the area.

                                I disagree a bit, but understand what you are saying. I think a few people that attend the musical might have some interest to read the book. A few of those might even order one and a few of those will start to read the book and might get as far as the Isaiah chapters before quitting.
