A Month of Mormon Day 10: Michael Potts Talks Singing Mormon's Most Shocking Song
by Broadway.com Staff • May 20, 2011
It's Mormon Month at Broadway.com as we deliver exclusive daily videos tracing the history of Broadway's new smash hit, The Book of Mormon. With South Park cretors Trey Parker and Matt Stone at the helm, you can bet they brought their signature brand of vulgar hilarity to the show. About 25 minutes into the musical comes, "Hasa Diga Eebowai," an incredibly raunchy riff on "Haukuna Matata" that translates into one jaw-dropping declaration of unholiness. It's up to Broadway veteran Michael Potts, who plays African villager Mafala Hatimbi, to deliver the wild comic number. Take a look below as Potts and his co-stars recall the first time hearing the song!
