The Book of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

The storyline follows the tale of two Mormon missionaries as they strive to promote their faith with the residents of a small Ugandan village. Conceived by the makers of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, in addition to the record-breaking Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony holder, Robert Lopez, the music is notable for receiving its very own Tony Award.

In reaction to appeals from cast members to reassess the depiction of black characters in light of concerns about racial fairness, a handful of lyrics and elements of the narrative were somewhat adjusted back in 2021. Nonetheless, the concepts of friendship, faith, and optimism, which surpass all religious beliefs, remain unchanged throughout the performance.
In their review, The New York Daily News describes how The Book of Mormon is a show where you frequently find yourself laughing one moment and subsequently discover your mouth agape the next, finally tearing up and, finally, applauding for the primary singers. Writers Stone and Parker are well-known for their "take-no-prisoners, nothing-is-sacred approach to humor."

Additionally, Lopez exemplifies a talent for thumbing his nose at current standards. As all three share credit for the script, music, and words, this show can be characterized as "foolish, heartfelt, and exceptionally impolite, while the score continually lively and intelligent keeps the scenes in this Book moving smoothly.”

The Eugene O'Neill Theatre is considered one of the leading locations for in-demand Broadway shows in all of New York! Drop by the stage at New York for the ultimate enjoying event of The Book of Mormon.
