Not really but during the villager's play about Joseph Smith, they act out having dysentery using brown scarves as a stand-in for feces.

There is a scene, however, where Elder Price is downing coffee like crazy (mormons arent supposed to so for him this is a scandalous act of rebellion) and ACTS like hes intoxicated.

Elder Price (off screen and for comical purposes) had the Book Of Mormon shoved into his r****m by the General, which can be classified as sexual assault.

There is no kidnapping; however, it is briefly referenced a few times because the area of Uganda where the Mormons are staying is not very safe.

In the original broadway version of the show, there is a scene where Elder Cunningham gets nervous when he attempts to knock on someone's door and he heaves, however there is no visible vomit and this appears to be removed from all other versions of the show.

If you aren't seeing it live and are watching a recording. Since there are no professional recordings of the play, many of the amateur recordings can vary in terms of shakeyness.

During the scene at the airport, a woman is dressed like a stereotypical African tribeswoman and sings in Swahili as a sendoff to Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, who are going to Uganda. The woman admits she has never been to Africa and its implied she doesn't know what she sang, and her costume is made of things like brooms and feathers. That being said, the moment is very on the nose about how uneducated people are about modern day Africa.
