Eric Malizia and Jed Christensen are hoping their new musical will enjoy the same kind of success "Saturday's Warrior" found with the Mormon audience.

"Mission the Musical" is designed for the LDS culture with a story about two missionaries — one modern-day man who isn't sure he wants to go and Meekum, a Nephite lad who is certain he does.

In both cases, the plans for a mission clash with parental wishes.

And, as the story unfolds, both young men learn lessons about faith, life and the power of making decisions as they fight the same "simple war."

"This is a story with a message about decisions that has a kind of parallel to the show. Once we made the decision to just go ahead with it, things fell into place," said Christensen. "Before that, we had some difficulty."
