Fans of all-star-cast entertainment are excited to hear that The Book of Mormon is coming to New York to put on a show at the iconic Eugene O'Neill Theatre on Wednesday 14th June 2023. What a lot of people nowadays enjoy about Musicals is that they are truly unique. A lot of Musicals can feel somewhat like a normal movie but with intermittent songs simply thrown in. Well relax, because The Book of Mormon is NOTHING like that. The musical numbers are more dynamic and perfectly portray the characters perfectly. They’re put into breathtaking moments with smartly written rhymes. So why wait for your tickets – because this show has sold out across New York and the country. Reserve yourself a seat, because there's no better act to see this June!

The Book of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, Orgazmo, and Cannibal! The Musical, join the creative talents of Robert Lopez to cultivate “The Book of Mormon”, one of this season’s filthiest, most offensive, and surprisingly sweet musicals on Broadway Today! This musical comes hot off the heels of the satirical success of South Park episode “All About Mormons” as well as the “Super Best Friends” to tell a story that lampoons and celebrates the Mormon faith.

The musical tells the tale of a pair of Latter-Day Saints missionaries who have come to a remote Ugandan village with the hopes of spreading the faith and inspiring the villagers. But trouble comes when their intentions are met with apathy, since the villagers have more pressing concerns with HIV/AIDS, famine, and oppression from the village warlords. As the story unfolds, we find the missionaries’ faith tested by the harsh and stressful realities they have discovered and how stories and metaphors can lead to a better future and hope, even as war and violence remains a part of one’s life.

This combination of extremely dark themes and inspirational messages comes together in a way that Ben Brantley of The New York Times has compared favorably to Rodgers and Hammerstein classic “The King and I”. He has even said that its “…setting these dark elements to sunny melodies…achieves something like a miracle. It both makes fun of and ardently embraces the all-American art form of the inspirational book musical.” Jon Stewart has even had nothing but praise to offer to the makers for the play during a March 10, 2011 episode of The Daily Show that first talks about the production.

If you want to watch this award-winning and universally acclaimed production for yourself, then catch The Book of Mormon live at the world famous Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York, New York on Wednesday 14th June 2023!
