The Book Of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Historically famous as one of the favorite theatre venues in New York, Eugene O'Neill Theatre has always been the coveted choice as a play or show venue, largely because of its awe-inspiring interior and exterior architecture that is both spacious and well-decorated. The Book of Mormon will be staged for a limited season in Eugene O'Neill Theatre in December, on Thursday 12th December 2024.

Robert Lopez, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone, once again created another hilarious production but in an entirely new medium for them, this time being in in the musical genre. The Book of Mormon, centered on Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, two Mormon missionaries of the Latter-day Saints (LDS) religion, embark on a mission to baptize and convert the local villagers of a village in Uganda. The show, though dealing with religious context, delves away from a serious approach to telling this story, as it instead uses comedy and even blasphemy to make light of the way religion is taught and religious stories are told.

Fans and critics globally and for over a decade since its Broadway premiere in 2011 have generally welcomed 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 perfectly remolds itself from a play full of cursing, sex, and profanity to a story that forces the audience to be introspective – specifically how we, as viewers, treat religion and supernatural stories. In one of their reviews, 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; as long as people understand that all religions ultimately preach love.”
