Things That I Drew Last Week And I Probably Wont Be Able To Touch Up Before The New Bcs Episode So Imma

Why I love the headcanon that Kevin’s Father is The Mission President

Mini essay on me thinking way too deeply into this than I should be:

Firstly, I need to make it clear that traditionally, Price’s Dad, Joseph Smith, Jesus and The Mission President are played by the same guy, with the Original Broadway Cast having Lewis Cleale in all these roles.

I feel like it makes sense. Kevin’s Father being The Mission President would explain Kevin’s dedication to the church, since he grew up with TMP as his father. He would’ve been close to TMP and likely had more insight to the church than the other elders at the missionary training centre did. Kevin is dedicated to the church because he is dedicated to making his father proud. The whole mormon thing comes easier to him due to him being raised in a hyper religious setting, more so than the other elders did. It also proves an explanation for why the other elders look up to him so much and see him as the “kindest most deserving elder”. Maybe they want to get closer to him because they know about his connections with TMP, or maybe they just know how their parents always talk about Kevin Price being the perfect son, knowing he is the son of TMP. It would also explain Arnold’s Father saying that Kevin is a son any father would be proud to have. He has expectations put on him by his peers and other adults due to him being the son of TMP, and even with little insight into what Kevin is really like, other adults already put him on such a high pedestal due to his father.

It also brings a whole new outlook on Jesus and Joseph Smith. It is shown that Jesus and Joseph Smith in the musical are just how Kevin perceives them to be, especially in SMHD where Jesus is clearly Kevin’s own interpretation, and in AAP where Kevin is the one telling the story of Joseph Smith. Both of those characters looking suspiciously like his dad would make lots of sense. He looks up to his dad, and he sees his dad like some sort of prophet, especially due to his role in the church. It’s also funny to think that SMHD is about Kevin’s worst fears and guilts, and that being scolded by Jesus looking suspiciously like his father is one of his worst fears.

His fathers connections to the church would also benefit him on his mission. Maybe it’s possible that instead of heavenly father having a hand in everything, it is in fact Kevin’s dad. It’s reasonable to think that since Kevin’s Dad is the Mission President, it is possible he chose specifically to send Kevin to Uganda. Maybe he wants Kevin as far away as possible, or maybe he just trusts his son with this mission more than anyone else. This would make most sense towards the end of Act 1, when Kevin is reminded of the Mission President and makes the decision to go and talk to him about getting a transfer. He is scared, he just saw a man get shot, and he wants to go and beg his dad to let him go home. Why else would he go straight to TMP without even considering it? Would he not know how hard it is to get a transfer, and would he not be embarrassed that him, the perfect mormon boy, is begging for a transfer? It’s his father, so he feels somewhat more comfortable going to him and begging for a way out.

Anyway I think that’s it. This is much less of a theory and more of a “wow! this headcanon makes so much sense” I’ve never seen this hc in any fics, or even mentioned within the fandom, and I only started to think about it once I was listing out different casts to attach to recordings. I hope this makes at least a little bit of sense
