The Book of Mormon is one of the longest-running Broadway shows and for good reason. It has won a plethora of awards including the Grammy, Tony, and Olivier awards!
The musical is a satire on the beliefs and practices of The Church. The creators of the show spent 7 years developing the play and were met with an overwhelming response from the critics after featuring for the first time in New York. Subsequently, they were featured at the West End in 2013.
The trio - Parker, Lopez, and Stone - were responsible for everything from the writing to the music of the show.
The story follows the lives of two young Mormons who have been deployed to Uganda to spread the word of Jesus Christ. As the duo set out to do their job, they realize that the people of the village struggle with real-life problems like famine and AIDS. The juxtaposition of a community of people cursing their heartless god, and the Mormons coaxing them to revere this god takes this play forward. The Book of Mormon unfolds as a satire of what modern-day religion stands as today, with all its idiosyncrasies and quirks.
Note: Producers can not guarantee the appearance of any particular artist, which is always subject to illness and holidays.
The brainchild of Robert Lopez, the Book of Mormon is filled with bold, shocking, and unabashed songs that are designed to make the audience think, the most famous of which is 'I Believe'.

The Book of Mormon is, above all, very funny, breathing three-dimensional, all-singing, all-dancing life into the absurdities of literal Mormon dogma without ever being particulalry mean.

Ticketing experience was top class. I will not hesitate to use them again. The show was incredible in every way. It's a must see and a don't miss it show.
The play is amazing Please note I couldn't see all stage from my seat and it wasn't notifying at the time of purchase
Quick getting into the theatre even with a long que for bag check. Friendly staff, and most importantly amazing permormance!
The sarcasm and the in your face script! The various themes in the show have left me pondering and they were so on target. The cast were brilliant as were the musicians - fabulous !. The energy of the cast and the rapport with the audience was superb. The whole experience was very professional. On a negative note - my seat was C42 and the draft from the air purifier was chilly. Luckily I had a jumper and a jacket but my knees were cold which was a distraction from a wonderful performance! I hope to see it again - in a different seat.
I accidentally booked the wrong day and my tickets were rebooked on the night for great seats. Appreciate the woman who helped us out in the theatre so much!
