The musical runs at 2 hours and 30 minutes, the Book of Mormon was a surprising yet welcome addition to Broadway theatres when it premiered over 10 years ago, back in 2011 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The creative take on the Book of Mormon was a box office success. Within just 9 months of its debut it broke the weekly box office record 22 times. By mid-2022, it had already taken home more than $1 Billion Dollars around the world. Showing throughout the past decade, the musical accumulated awards over all of its productions globally as well, ranging from Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Olivier Awards, Drama Desk Awards and Helpmann awards among other citations!

The Book of Mormon blends the key ideas of faith, culture shock, and classic theatre into its comedic musical. Its plot features two very different Mormon missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, its leading characters, as they are sent on a mission for training to convert the native villagers of a remote village in Uganda to Mormonism. This proves to be a challenge however, as they find out that the village faces more urgent affairs such as poverty, famine, an HIV/AIDS epidemic, and even oppression from a local warlord. Though not initially successful, it is Cunningham who is able to successfully preach to the locals with aid from the village leader’s daughter, Nabulungi, and a bit of creativity. Though not as knowledgeable on the Mormon doctrine as his fellow Mormons, he invents stories that are a combination of fact and fiction, copying from science fiction and fantasy works such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings that convince the villagers more to convert. The two ways of Price and Cunningham clash, orthodox and unorthodox. Comedy ensues as they both try to figure out the best way to achieve the mission they set out for in the first place.
