Running at 2 hours and 30 minutes, the Book of Mormon was a surprising yet welcome addition to Broadway theatres when it premiered over a decade ago, back in 2011 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The creative take on the Book of Mormon was a hit smash. Within just 9 months of its debut it broke the weekly box office record 22 times!! By mid-2022, it had already earned 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 integrates the themes of religion, culture shock, and classic theatre into its comedic musical. Its plot features two very different Mormon missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, its main characters, as they are sent on a mission for training to convert the native villagers of a small African village in Uganda to Mormonism. This proves to be more difficult than expected however, as they learn that the village faces more practical issues such as poverty, famine, an AIDS epidemic, and even oppression from the local General. Thinking outside the box, it is Cunningham who is able to successfully preach to the villagers with aid from the village leader’s daughter, Nabulungi, and an unusual talent for lying. Though not as competent on the Mormon doctrine as his companions, he creates relatable stories that are a combination of fact and fiction, blatantly taking stories from pop culture 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 respectively, as they both try to strategize the best way to achieve the mission they set out for in the first place.
