The Book Of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Well-known as one of the unrivaled theatre venues in New York, Eugene O'Neill Theatre has always been the top choice as a play or show venue, especially due to its outstanding interior and exterior architecture that is both functional and visually appealing. The play will be staged for a limited time in Eugene O'Neill Theatre in October, on Saturday 26th October 2024.

Legendary duo Matt Stone & Trey Parker, alongside Robert Lopez have once again created 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 Mormon faith, embark on a mission to baptize and convert the local villagers of a village in Uganda. The show, despite the risk of offending the church, delves away from a serious approach to sharing this story, as it instead uses comedy and even blasphemy to reveal the truth behind the way religion is taught and religious stories are told.

Audiences all over the world and for over a decade since its Broadway premiere in 2011 have generally received The Book of Mormon positively. Despite being rude, foulmouthed, and often satirical, it also comes with a warm and serious tone beneath its language. Throughout its two acts, the musical gradually remolds itself from a play full of cursing, adult themes, and obscenity to a story that forces the audience to be introspective. The New York Times agrees with this thought and stated that “The central theme of The Book of Mormon is that many religious stories are silly – the idea that God would plant golden plates in upstate New York. 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.”
