'Book of Mormon' musical is "sure to offend and succeed"0

Backers' auditions for the show, which will open in March at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, were held this past week, and I know of several insiders who are still sore from laughing so hard.

Mike Nichols was roaring, too, especially at what one person calls a "brilliantly funny rip-off" of the "Circle of Life" number from "The Lion King."
