Harper CravenGUEST
They were the only ones that Walt personally hired.
Harper CravenGUEST
Before Alan Menken and Howard Ashman and before Kristen Anderson Lopez and Bobby Lopez, those guys were the titans of Disney songwriting.
Harper CravenGUEST
I was very...
Harper CravenGUEST
I did want to capture the essence of that, of not copying their melodies exactly, but looking at how they did things and made it all whimsical and happy.
Lin-Manuel MirandaGUEST
And then...
Lin-Manuel MirandaGUEST
There I am with Frozen co-composer Bobby Lopez and our elementary school teacher, Miss Barbara Ames, who is a living legend.
Lin-Manuel MirandaGUEST
I keep meeting people whose lives were changed by Barbara Ames.
Lin-Manuel MirandaGUEST
You have to understand, Alex Sarlin and I have known each other since kindergarten.
Graeme GoodingsHOST
I mean, it'd be fair to say that a lot of people say, oh, Book of Mormon, this is religious, and maybe not into religion, but that's not what it's about, is it? I mean, it's a wonderful story involving wonderful characters.
Nick CoxGUEST
Yeah, I would say the religious element, I mean, it definitely is a massive theme of it, but if anyone's like, oh, it's Mormonism, I'm not interested, I would... urge them to look up who the South Park writers are, because it's written by Matt and Trey from South Park, and then Bobby Lopez, who wrote Avenue Q, which is another hilarious musical, and he also wrote the music from Frozen.
Nick CoxGUEST
So while there are these themes, there's just the chaos that kind of goes around them, and watching these two characters in particular navigate these things, and they're complete opposite temperaments and personalities.
Nick CoxGUEST
So it's a lot more than just a religious musical, in fact, I'd say.
Sean JohnstonGUEST
This was one of the first shows I saw when I was studying at uni.
Sean JohnstonGUEST
And it was a show that for somebody who was new to theatre, was incredible it's just so different to any other show that's out there Nick kind of touched on it before but it's written by the guys who write South Park first of all so they're comedy geniuses and always pushing the line and talking about themes and things that maybe other people are afraid to talk about and then Robert Lopez is a genius musical writer he's the only person to be a two-time EGOT winner.
Sean JohnstonGUEST
So he's won Emmys, Grammys, Oscars and Tonys.
Sean JohnstonGUEST
And the music that he's put together for this show is just incredible.
Justin SpurrGUEST
That's funny that you like that musical.
Justin SpurrGUEST
That's Bobby Lopez.
Justin SpurrGUEST
That's the guy who did Book of Mormon with the South Park guys.
Justin SpurrGUEST
Him and his wife also did tie it back to this show.
Jonathan GoodmanHOST
Also, you talked about the next generation.
Jonathan GoodmanHOST
When you look at Disney, the next generation is Lin-Manuel Miranda, no stranger to success, but doing the music to successful, but also Bobby Lopez and his wife.
John BurlingameGUEST
Kristen and Bobby are great people.
John BurlingameGUEST
I've been lucky enough to interview them on several occasions.
John BurlingameGUEST
Forget it.
John BurlingameGUEST
Again, these are smart people.
John BurlingameGUEST
Kristen and Bobby Lopez are not just great songwriters, They're really sharp people.
John BurlingameGUEST
They're smart people who understand drama, who understand storytelling, and the role that music can play.
Brennan StefanikHOST
Tell me about it.
Daniel J. SollyHOST
So The Book of Mormon is a musical with music, lyrics, and book by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone.
Daniel J. SollyHOST
Trey Parker and Matt Lopez are famous because they created South Park-
Brennan StefanikHOST
Mm-hmm
Daniel J. SollyHOST
...
Daniel J. SollyHOST
among other things.
Daniel J. SollyHOST
And Robert Lopez is famous for, um, he wrote Avenue Q, and then later he teamed up with his wife, and they're the, they're the, um, composers of Frozen-
Brennan StefanikHOST
Mm-hmm
Joe DevineHOST
Because of its instant popularity and premium ticket pricing, it completely recouped its initial investment in just nine months, which is exceptionally fast for a Broadway musical, apparently.
Joe DevineHOST
The Book of Mormon creators Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez have individually earned hundreds of millions of dollars from the show's profits, merchandise, and album sales.
Joe DevineHOST
Incredible.
Joe DevineHOST
What have you got to say about that, Adam?
Drew TaylorHOST
Yeah.
