The official response by the LDS church to the Book of Mormon was this: "The production may attempt to entertain audiences for an evening, but the Book of Mormon as a volume of scripture will change people's lives forever by bringing them closer to Christ." [1]

Not exactly what you would call "backlash." Then the church took out an ad in the playbill. [2]
