Running at 2 hours and 30 minutes, the Book of Mormon was a new and fresh addition to Broadway theatres when it started over 10 years ago, back in 2011 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The creative take on the Book of Mormon was a hit smash. Within just 9 months of its debut it broke the weekly box office record 22 times!! By mid-2022, it had already grossed more than $1 Billion Dollars worldwide. Showing throughout the past decade, the musical amassed awards all over the world as well, ranging from Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Olivier Awards, Drama Desk Awards and Helpmann awards among other citations!

The Book of Mormon integrates the themes of religion, culture shock, and classic theatre into its comedic musical. Its narrative features two very different Latter-day saints (LDS) missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, its central characters, as they are sent on a mission for training to convert the local population of a small African village in Uganda to their religion. It turns out to be a painstaking mission however, as they learn that the village faces more urgent affairs such as poverty, famine, an HIV epidemic, and even oppression from the local General. Faced with the challenge, it is Cunningham who is able to get through to the villagers with aid from the village leader’s daughter, Nabulungi, and a bit of creativity. Though not as knowledgeable on the Mormon doctrine as his fellow Mormons, he creates relatable stories that are a combination of fact and fiction, copying from science fiction and fantasy works such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings that convince the villagers more to convert. The two ways of Price and Cunningham clash, orthodox and unorthodox. Comedy ensues as they both try to conceive the best way to achieve the mission they set out for in the first place.
