Eugene O'Neill Theatre
New York, you’re in for the best kind of surprise as The Book of Mormon, one of Broadway’s wittiest, cleverest, and most comedic plays is arriving and performing in New York on Friday 19th September 2025 at the one and only Eugene O'Neill Theatre! Take part in a musical viewing that makes you fall in love with classical musicals, full of hysterical and amusing twists.
Produced from a collaboration of the creators of the famous comedy TV show South Park and the play Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon features two Mormon missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, as they try to convert local villagers in Uganda. In the same fashion to their previous creations, the musical takes the serious subject of religion and satirizes it through both writing and music.
As Ben Brantley of The NYC Times describes, just like South Park, it is “also blasphemous, scurrilous and more foul-mouthed than David Mamet on a blue streak. But trust me when I tell you that its heart is as pure as that of a Rodgers and Hammerstein show”.
Don't miss your chance to be part of the audience and get a seat to this magnificent show, before they run out!

Known as New York's most spacious and top-tier show venues, Eugene O'Neill Theatre is showcasing the Book of Mormon on September at Friday 19th September 2025. Known for its world-class staging, interior design, and acoustics, Eugene O'Neill Theatre is already applauded by both locals and tourists in New York as its finest musical venue.
Running at 2 hours and 30 minutes, the Book of Mormon was a new and fresh addition to Broadway theatres when it premiered over 10 years ago, back in 2011 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The imaginative 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 worldwide. Showing throughout the past decade, the show amassed awards worldwide as well, ranging from Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Olivier Awards, Drama Desk Awards and Helpmann awards among many other acclaims!
The Book of Mormon mixes the themes of faith, culture shock, and classic theatre into its comedic musical. Its story features two very different Latter-day saints (LDS) missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, its central characters, as they are sent on a mission for training to convert the native villagers of a remote village in Uganda to Mormonism. It turns out to be a painstaking mission however, as they discover that the village faces more pressing matters such as poverty, famine, an HIV epidemic, and even oppression from the local General. Though not initially successful, it is Cunningham who is able to get through to the villagers with assistance from the local leader’s daughter, Nabulungi, and an original approach . Though not as well versed on the Mormon doctrine as his companions, he invents stories that are a mix of fact and fiction, blatantly taking stories from science fiction and fantasy works such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings that entice the villagers more to convert. The two methods of Price and Cunningham clash, orthodox and unorthodox respectively, as they both try to strategize the best way to achieve the mission they set out for in the first place.
The Book of Mormon’s decade-long run is now available in New York. Tickets are purchasable by clicking the link provided above.
