The Book Of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham are two missionaries of the Latter-day saints (LDS) sent on a mission to a remote Ugandan village. Their goal is to convert the locals to their religion, but they realize upon their arrival that their job is more difficult than they had realized, given the abundance of local issues that the villagers are against such as oppression, an HIV/AIDS epidemic, and poverty among others. The pair then come to accept that they must utilize more unusual means to succeed in their mission than the usual method that they know.

It is in this duo's difficult journey where the performance of The Book of Mormon is outstanding – allowing a serious topic of religion to be blasphemed and injected with comedy, showtunes, and a bit of rude language, yet still remaining unobjectionable to its audience. Since its premiere in 2011, the musical has been received positively despite its manner of challenging religious belief. The church itself supported the musical, purchasing ads and releasing marketing marketing material that stated: “You’ve seen the play, now read the book.” In its West End performances, the repeatedly sold-out shows were prime examples of The Book of Mormon’s success. Though most viewers were already drawn in given the content and theme of the play, according to The Guardian, it was even to their surprise that “suddenly you realize you’re in for not just humour but a a thought provoking tale that just keeps on getting better.” The musical’s run in Australia met with a similar positive reception, with the Sydney Morning Herald even proclaiming that the Book of Mormon is a “dynamite production of a show that can lay fair claim to being the funniest Broadway musical of all time.”

It's no shock that , The Book of Mormon’s several productions all over the world have earned it nine Tony Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, three Outer Circle Critics awards, four Olivier Awards, and two Helpmann Awards.
