around football, particularly the local public school known for its frat bro party environment.
In 2022 when the 14 different tour cities were jockeying for dates, the Orlando commission was insistent on mid-October.
“BYU and UCF just got placed in the same footballing conference together and our intuition says BYU will travel here in mid-October 2024.
As all of us involved in the theater know, BYU fans have a reputation for traveling to away games.
And as we all know, nothing offends them more than the musical from 2011 that’s in its 13th year and on its 4th national tour.
If we schedule it for October there’s a good chance that these fans will look up the musical theatre schedule for Orlando that weekend, see it’s the Book of Mormon, and be upset.
Nothing makes us happier than upset football hooligans. It may just help our beloved UCF team gain an advantage.
So the Orlando commission requests October 2024 please!”
I think you’re on to something it’s hard to imagine any other discussion from 2022.
