The Book Of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Familiar to locals as one of the premier theatre venues in New York, Eugene O'Neill Theatre has always been the fans' top choice as a play or show venue, especially due to its awe-inspiring interior and exterior architecture that is both functional and visually appealing. The Book of Mormon will be available for a limited time in Eugene O'Neill Theatre in September, on Friday 27th September 2024.

Legendary duo Matt Stone & Trey Parker, alongside Robert Lopez have once again succeeded in creating another smash hit but in an entirely new medium for them, this time being in in classical theatre. The Book of Mormon, centered on Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, two missionaries of the Latter-day Saints (LDS) faith, embark on a mission to baptize and convert the local population of a village in Uganda. The show, despite the risk of offending the church, delves away from a sedated approach to sharing this story, as it instead uses satire and even blasphemy to make light of the way religion is taught and religious stories are told.

Fans and critics globally and for the past decade since its Broadway premiere in 2011 have received The Book of Mormon positively despite its tone, as despite being rude, foulmouthed, and often satirical, it also comes with a heartfelt message to its viewers beneath its language. Throughout its two acts, the musical gradually transforms from a play full of cursing, adult themes, and obscenity to a story that shares a deep message – specifically how we, as viewers, treat religion and supernatural stories. The New York Times recognizes this and stated that “The central theme of The Book of Mormon is that many religious stories are silly. Many religious doctrines are rigid and out of touch. But religion itself can do enormous good as long as people take religious teaching metaphorically and not literally.”
