 Back to the Hollywood Reporter story,
Back to the Hollywood Reporter story, 
At 41, he ( Trey Parker) is no longer the enfant terrible who  became notorious for lampooning everyone and everything — from Tom Cruise to  Paris Hilton to Muhammad — and, along with Stone, even appearing in a dress at  the Oscars. Rather, there’s a high seriousness to him that might surprise South  Park aficionados.
On producer Scott Rudin’s advice, Parker and Stone  went to see the writer-composer’s Tony-winning Avenue Q, then took him for a  drink.
“Bobby said, ‘I want to do something about Joseph Smith,’ ” recalls Stone,  the younger and more extroverted of the
 South Park duo, referrring to  the founder of the Mormon religion. “And we were like: ‘Wait! We want to do  something about Joseph Smith!’ ”

In 2006, Parker and Stone flew to London, where  they spent three weeks with Lopez while he was working on the West End  production of Avenue Q. “We wrote four or five songs and came up with the basic  germ of the idea there — that they would go somewhere not Salt Lake City-like,”  Parker recalls.

During the next few years, the trio met frequently to develop what they  initially called 
The Book of Mormon: The Musical of the Church of Jesus  Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Book of Mormon, about two young missionaries who are sent to  Uganda.
