The Book Of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Well-known as one of the ultimate theatre venues in New York, Eugene O'Neill Theatre has always been the coveted choice as a play or musical venue, largely because of its epic interior and exterior architecture that is both spacious and well-decorated. The play will be available for a limited period in Eugene O'Neill Theatre in September, on Tuesday 10th 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 Mormon missionaries of the Mormon faith, begin on their journey to baptize and convert the local villagers of a village in Uganda. The musical, however serious it may sound, delves away from a somber approach to telling this story, as it instead uses satire and even blasphemy to reveal the truth behind the way religion is preached and religious stories are interpreted.

Fans and critics globally and for the past decade since its Broadway premiere in 2011 have welcomed The Book of Mormon positively despite its tone, as despite being somewhat against orthodox teaching, and often satirical, it also comes with a warm and serious tone beneath its language. Throughout its two acts, the musical perfectly transforms from a play full of cursing, adult themes, and obscenity to a story that forces the audience to be introspective – 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; as long as people understand that all religions ultimately preach love.”
