7. The Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon is fresh in at number seven, a hilarious tale of two earnest young Mormon missionaries sent to a small Ugandan town to spread the word of the Latter Day Saints. But the culture shock they experience knocks them for six and they end up in a dramatic showdown with a local warlord. Wickedly funny and wonderfully wry.
