The Book Of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Known as New York's most spacious and world-class show venues, Eugene O'Neill Theatre is showcasing the Book of Mormon on September at Friday 26th September 2025. Enjoy world-class staging, interior design, and acoustics, Eugene O'Neill Theatre is already applauded by both locals and tourists in New York as its greatest musical venue.

Running at 2 hours and 30 minutes, the Book of Mormon was a new and fresh addition to Broadway theatres when it debuted over a decade ago, back in 2011 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The creative take on the Book of Mormon was a record-breaker. In just the first nine months of the show, it broke the weekly box office record 22 times!! By mid-2022, it had already grossed more than $1 Billion Dollars worldwide. Over the past decade, the musical amassed awards over all of its productions globally 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 key ideas of faith, culture shock, and classic theatre into its comedic musical. Its plot features two very different Latter-day saints (LDS) missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, its central characters, as they are tasked to preach their faith to convert the native villagers of a small African village in Uganda to Mormonism. This proves to be a painstaking mission however, as they learn that the village faces more practical issues 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 successfully preach to the locals with assistance 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 creates relatable stories that are a blend of fact and fiction, blatantly taking stories from pop culture and fantasy works such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings that entice the villagers more to convert. The two ways of Price and Cunningham clash, orthodox and unorthodox. Comedy ensues as they struggle try to strategize the best way to achieve the mission they set out for in the first place.
