The Book of Mormon, one of the the longest-running shows in Broadway history, will now be available in New York! and showing at Eugene O'Neill Theatre on Thursday 22nd August 2024!
The story revolves around the coming-of-age story of an odd pair of two Mormon missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, the Book of Mormon creatively challenges religion and religious storytelling, and presents it in classical modern theatre comedy. The two missionaries are given a mission to preach to the villagers of a local village in Uganda, who turn out to be dealing with issues of their own rather than what they aim to preach.
The Book of Mormon was conceptualized back in 2003 by creators Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez, continuing on to its premiere in 2011. Since then, the musical comedy has become one of the most financially successful Broadway musicals in history, with repeatedly sold-out shows for over a decade.
The Book of Mormon will only be performing in New York’s Eugene O'Neill Theatre for a limited season this summer. Don’t wait for seats to run out on this popular Thursday showing!
