Alex Boye's American Prophet

Alex Boye appears to be setting up a stage musical of the life of Joseph Smith and it's apparently inspired by the "Hamilton" musical. This is only seven minutes and it is largely "correlation safe". This is really just the teaser trailer for what Brother Boye is trying to do. Donations and volunteers are very politely solicited at the end. I think Mark E. Peterson would have an aneurysm, but Russell Nelson will probably approve. It's kind of catchy in it's own hagiographic way.

Joseph must have really been a prophet if he knew about NASCAR.

It would be fun to see this made into a full-blown stage production. I was envisioning that after the song between Joseph and Emma, he married all the ladies in the string section. A Mormon Hamilton!

Minute 1:36 to 1:43, the guy helping people out of the wagon/cage. That looks like Rod Meldrum. That would actually make sense to me, he's a hustler with just enough delusion to think that this would be a good investment. I didn't see his name inthe credits, but I'll bet my last senum its him.

When I first read the title of this thread I thought it was something funny that our beloved Penguin had made up.
Then I saw Corsair had started the thread and was like "oh no! this is for real" OMGs too funny.

Holy Cow. The Church is cool now. I wanna be cool too so I guess I should be Mormon again. LOL JK.

The 3 witnesses in the new musical rap: "we be the gentleman scholars, intellectual ballers" LOL! Oh man. This is craziness. But I guess to believers, this play is awesome.

You mean like FAIR: The Musical, with delightful musical numbers such as the one below:

One Cumorah
Two Cumorah
Three Cumorah
Four, come on gang
What are we waiting for?

Let's pretend like we did last summer
Let's pretend for the golden plates
We'll pretend of marauding Lamanites
Shooting arrows at our golden gates.
