    Hill Cumorah Pageant: Fab or Drab?

    Mormon Pageant: Fab Or Drab?
    http://www.buzzfeed.com/katienotopoulos/book-of-mormon-pageant-fab-or-drab
    Fabness and drabness coexisted peacefully at the 75th Hill Cumorah Pageant, where 750 Mormons acted out the Book of Mormon.

      I thought HCP was enjoyable. Not sure I would make it again, but definitely worth seeing once. Part of the allure is being in the area of so much important early Church history.

      The Manti Pageant is insufferable and one of the most boring Church activities i have ever experienced. The steak fry before the pageant isn't very good, either. I remember getting suckered into one of those spur of the moment things wherein some girls show up at your apartment and say, "we are getting a bunch of people together to go down to the Manti Pageant," and then we agreed because we thought it would be fun and we could score at some point. After driving down there and eating mediocre steak, I don't even think the show started until almost 10PM. Holy crap.

          I'll echo the thoughts on Manti. I've never made it through that thing awake. I'm usually out after one hour. The only exciting part is the protesters.

          I've never seen HCP but I've seen City of Joseph in Nauvoo (when we lived in Iowa we went down). COJ is pretty cool and has some very original songs, but it was in mid to late July in Nauvoo
          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                  This. And when I went, it rained, so people were holding umbrellas up and dripping them on folks behind them. I went for a girl, and then she spent the whole time with another dude. What an awful memory.

                  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.

                      I used to like going to the Hill Comorah pageant, but I haven't been since I was a youth, so I don't remember anything about it.

                      When I was in Utah a couple of weeks ago, some of my in-laws were headed to the Manti pageant, and my wife made noises about us going. We did not go.

                          100% agree. It was insufferable, though laugh out loud in some parts (not in a good way). I can't believe that thing hasn't been updated.
                          "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
