The Book Of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

The storyline traces the tale of two Mormon proselytizers as they endeavor to share their faith with the locals of a tiny Ugandan village. Conceived by the authors of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, as well as the record-breaking EGOT recipient, Robert Lopez, the music is famous for receiving its very own Tony Award.

In reaction to appeals from cast members to review the representation of black characters in light of concerns about racial fairness, a couple of lyrics and aspects of the plot were somewhat altered back in 2021. However, the ideas of friendship, faith, and optimism, which go beyond all faiths, persist the same across the show.
In their review, The New York Daily News portrays how The Book of Mormon is a performance where you regularly find yourself laughing one minute and afterwards realize your mouth agape the following, eventually tearing up and, finally, cheering for the lead singers. Writers Stone and Parker are well-known for their "take-no-prisoners, nothing-is-sacred technique to humor."

Additionally, Lopez demonstrates a talent for thumbing his nose at contemporary conventions. As all three share credit for the book, music, and words, this performance can be labeled as "foolish, heartfelt, and remarkably crude, while the score uniformly bright and clever keeps the pages in this Book rotating seamlessly.”

The Eugene O'Neill Theatre is considered one of the top venues for in-demand Broadway shows in all of New York! Come the performance area at New York for the ultimate viewing event of The Book of Mormon.
