ETA: Side note: I post from my phone so I can't see who starts threads under the title. I was a little surprised to see you started "hasa diga eebowai". Lol
Again two sides to my synopsis. One is the Mormon recruitment/religious side, the other is the enjoyment of a Broadway show. As hasa diga eebowai literally means nothing in any language it then becomes apart of a Broadway show. Like any message or word it only has the meaning we give to it. I enjoyed the show and decided to use this unique word to discuss what I thought.

Again over all if you go just to see a Broadway play, then you'll have fun. If your going their to 'hasa diga eebowai' by the end you might have this feeling to 'connect.'
The writers are Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone.
Stone is an atheist, Parker believes in a god but thinks religion is silly. I don't know about Lopez but I found this quote by him.
Quote:And so I came to this feeling of, well, religion is made-up, but the fact that it exists and that people are good to one another is a miracle. It sort of is more miraculous than the stories of Jesus turning water into wine and all that crap.

I agree with the sentiments that Lopez expressed.
It doesn't sound like any of them are Mormons

Mormons ask seek and knock and get a different answer.
