The Book Of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Historically famous as one of the premier theatre venues in New York, Eugene O'Neill Theatre has always been the top choice as a play or musical venue, especially due to its awe-inspiring interior and exterior architecture that is both practical and beautiful. The musical comedy will be performing for a limited period in Eugene O'Neill Theatre in November, on Saturday 9th November 2024.

Legendary duo Matt Stone & Trey Parker, alongside Robert Lopez have once again created another comedy masterpiece but in an entirely new medium for them, this time being in on the Broadway stage. The Book of Mormon, centered on Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, two Mormon missionaries of the Latter-day Saints (LDS) religion, begin on their journey 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 somber approach to telling this story, as it instead uses comedy and even blasphemy to challenge and question the way religion is preached and religious stories are interpreted.

Audiences all over the world and for the past decade since its Broadway premiere in 2011 have welcomed The Book of Mormon positively despite its tone, as despite mocking religious teachings, and often satirical, it also comes with a heartfelt message to its viewers beneath its language. Throughout its two acts, the musical perfectly transforms from a play full of cursing, sex, and profanity to a story that forces the audience to be introspective. The New York Times highlights 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.”
