Cant believe I'm actually attempting to interact with a new fandom but I need some help from the book of mormon musical fandom 🧍‍♀️

Does anybody know if any photos of the actor jon bass as elder cunningham exist?? I've been looking for them for about a YEAR now and I dont know whether its because I'm not like hyperfixated on the book or mormon or what but I cant find ANYTHING....

He was in the role on Broadway in 2011 (I think he replaced Josh gadd but obvs this musical is not my expertise???) and was in the tour in 2012...literally ANY photos or content would be appreciated!!! 🙏🙏

Why I love the headcanon that Kevin’s Father is The Mission President

Mini essay on me thinking way too deeply into this than I should be:

Firstly, I need to make it clear that traditionally, Price’s Dad, Joseph Smith, Jesus and The Mission President are played by the same guy, with the Original Broadway Cast having Lewis Cleale in all these roles.

I feel like it makes sense. Kevin’s Father being The Mission President would explain Kevin’s dedication to the church, since he grew up with TMP as his father. He would’ve been close to TMP and likely had more insight to the church than the other elders at the missionary training centre did. Kevin is dedicated to the church because he is dedicated to making his father proud. The whole mormon thing comes easier to him due to him being raised in a hyper religious setting, more so than the other elders did. It also proves an explanation for why the other elders look up to him so much and see him as the “kindest most deserving elder”. Maybe they want to get closer to him because they know about his connections with TMP, or maybe they just know how their parents always talk about Kevin Price being the perfect son, knowing he is the son of TMP. It would also explain Arnold’s Father saying that Kevin is a son any father would be proud to have. He has expectations put on him by his peers and other adults due to him being the son of TMP, and even with little insight into what Kevin is really like, other adults already put him on such a high pedestal due to his father.

It also brings a whole new outlook on Jesus and Joseph Smith. It is shown that Jesus and Joseph Smith in the musical are just how Kevin perceives them to be, especially in SMHD where Jesus is clearly Kevin’s own interpretation, and in AAP where Kevin is the one telling the story of Joseph Smith. Both of those characters looking suspiciously like his dad would make lots of sense. He looks up to his dad, and he sees his dad like some sort of prophet, especially due to his role in the church. It’s also funny to think that SMHD is about Kevin’s worst fears and guilts, and that being scolded by Jesus looking suspiciously like his father is one of his worst fears.

His fathers connections to the church would also benefit him on his mission. Maybe it’s possible that instead of heavenly father having a hand in everything, it is in fact Kevin’s dad. It’s reasonable to think that since Kevin’s Dad is the Mission President, it is possible he chose specifically to send Kevin to Uganda. Maybe he wants Kevin as far away as possible, or maybe he just trusts his son with this mission more than anyone else. This would make most sense towards the end of Act 1, when Kevin is reminded of the Mission President and makes the decision to go and talk to him about getting a transfer. He is scared, he just saw a man get shot, and he wants to go and beg his dad to let him go home. Why else would he go straight to TMP without even considering it? Would he not know how hard it is to get a transfer, and would he not be embarrassed that him, the perfect mormon boy, is begging for a transfer? It’s his father, so he feels somewhat more comfortable going to him and begging for a way out.

Anyway I think that’s it. This is much less of a theory and more of a “wow! this headcanon makes so much sense” I’ve never seen this hc in any fics, or even mentioned within the fandom, and I only started to think about it once I was listing out different casts to attach to recordings. I hope this makes at least a little bit of sense

Sorry it’s not a drawing post by the way, I am just in such a writing mood rn

ALL TBOM ELDERS + all canon information on them

I am making this to help out anyone who is writing fanfics or drawing fan art of The Book Of Mormon and wants to draw the elders accurately or keep them in character. I will involve all lines from each character + their fandom given first name and other small things that indicate their personality or traits. I will also state the animal they brought up in I Am Africa since I believe the animals do reflect their personalities in some way.

Elder Church

- Elder “James” Church

- Given the name James by the fandom

- OBC actor: Brian Sears

- Comes from Cheyenne, Wyoming

- When he was young his parents were in an abusive relationship, with his alcoholic father abusing him and his mother

- “Okay, okay, HOLD ON! I mean… We COULD… SAY that we had some baptisms” Is the elder that suggests lying about how many baptisms district 9 has achieved

- “We were SO worried about you” Is the first elder that tells Kevin they were SO worried about him when he fell asleep at the bus station

- In I Am Africa he sings “(with) The Noble Lion King”

- In I Am Africa he also sings “A tribal woman who doesn’t wear a bra”

Elder Michaels

- Elder “Michael” Michaels

- Given the name Mike by the fandom

- OBC actor: Clark Johnsen

- Comes from Provo

Elder Thomas

(I could not find a photo of him, please accept this photo of the actor as an offering)

- Elder “Chris” Thomas

- Also goes by Elder Poptarts

- Given the name Chris by the fandom

- OBC actor: Scott Barnhardt

- His sister died from cancer and he was unable to say goodbye since he was at the apple store in line for a new iphone. Her last words were “Where is my brother”

- “You, too?! I had the hell dream after I accidentally read a Playboy!” Had his first hell dream after accidentally reading a playboy

- “Well, somebody needs to tell that General Butt-F-ing Named that people should be free to do what they want!” Is the elder that gives Kevin the idea of speaking to the general.

- In I Am Africa he sings “(with) The meerkat”. A lot of the fandom compares him to being like a meerkat

Elder Davis

Same thing, take this photo of him (right) standing next to Andrew Rannells (left)

- Elder “Robert” David

- Given the name Robert by the fandom

- OBC actor: Jason Michael Snow

- Is the first elder to ask if Elder McKinley is okay when he is panicking about the mission president

- “Elder Cunningham we must always work in PAIRS. Remember?” Is the first elder to complain about Arnold and Kevin arguing before being shut down by Elder McKinley

- “Looks like you fell asleep at the bus station!” (to Kevin after SMHD)

Elder Schrader

- Elder “Brian” Schrader

- Given the name Brian by the fandom

- OBC actor: Benjamin Schrader

- Please note that he isn’t called Elder Schrader in every performance, he sometimes takes the last name of the actor that plays him since he is named after Benjamin Schrader, his OBC actor

- “Are you an IDIOT?! MORMONS don’t LIE!” could come across as him being outspoken + rude personality wise

- In I Am Africa he sings “With the rhino”

Elder Neeley

Same thing AGAIN. Have a photo him (left) standing next to Jason Michael Snow (right)

- Elder “Ted” Neeley

- Given the name Ted by the fandom

- OBC actor: Kevin Duda

- “I told a lie once when I was twelve, and I had a dream that I went to hell! It was REALLY SPOOKY.” Had his first hell dream after telling a lie when he was 12

- “Yeah, we have to go home!” “But the mission president said we’re all as far from the Latter-Day Saints as it gets!” Seems to be the elder that wants to go home most after being shunned by the mission president

Elder Zelder

I scoured the internet and found no photos of him at all this is all I got sorry guys

- Elder “Elder” Zelder

- Given this name by the fandom, frequently referred to as an alien. I assume this is due to him having fewer lines compared to the other elders. People joke that Elder Zelder is his full name

- OBC actor: Justin Botton

- In I Am Africa he sings “(we are) A monkey with a banana”

PAIRINGS

Here is a photo of the chalk board that lists the pairings of all the elders:

If you can’t read it,

Elder McKinley + Elder Thomas

Elder Zelder + Elder Michaels

Elder Neeley + Elder Schrader

Elder Church + Elder Davis

also it’s a good example of Elder Schrader’s name changing based on the actor portraying him!!

Thank you for reading my little infodump, I did this mostly for myself but I would be happy to know that other people found this helpful!!

I hate him so much i hope he Dies (he means everything to me and he is in my every thought)
