The Book of Mormon - Broadway's Original Rule Breaker

Author News DeskNews Desk, October 17th, 2019

Now on tour!

Long before Hamilton took over the world, Broadway enjoyed a musical that was ready to rip up the rule book. Written by South Park creators, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone, The Book of Mormon took Broadway by storm, winning nine Tony Awards and a Grammy in the process! 

With its mix of filthy and obscene and sweetness and love The Book of Mormon certainly shocked when it debuted at the Eugene O'Neil Theatre back in 2011. However, the musical became a hit with both audiences and critics alike. With a long-running production in London, a national tour across North America and an Australian and UK tour, The Book of Mormon is still one of the globe's most popular musicals. 


What the critics thought - 

"The best musical of the century" 

- Ben Brantley, New York Times

"A work of genius" 

- The Guardian

"Musical comedy heaven"

- Time Out New York

Did you know? 

When The Book of Mormon premiered it was feared that The Mormon Church would take offense and protest against the musical. However, there was nothing to fear as instead they took this rather risque musical in their stride, even taking out advertisements in the show's playbills across the world, under the heading 'The book is always better'. Now that is what we call a darned good sport!


What is The Book of Mormon about?

The greatest time of a Mormon kid's life is his mission,' sings Elder Kevin Price before finding out where and who with, his journey starts. But things are not as the handsome and pious Elder Price predicted when he's paired up with the hapless and dumpy Elder Cunningham and sent to Uganda for their first mission! Sorry boys, Disneyland, this ain't.

The adventure unfolds as Elder Price and Elder Cunningham try to preach The Book to a local farming community that has been decimated by disease and ruled under an iron fist by the evil warlord, General Butt-F*cking Naked. Meanwhile, the disaster-prone duo learn about themselves, the true meaning of friendship and what their religion ultimately means, not only to themselves but also to their new flock. Get your tickets for the most outrageous musical comedy in the country!

Don't miss your chance to see The Book of Mormon as it heads out on tour across North America!
