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 musicals is arriving and performing in New York on Thursday 28th August 2025 at the one and only Eugene O'Neill Theatre! Take part in a musical showing that makes you laugh and love classical musicals, full of hysterical and humorous twists.
Produced from the minds 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 states, 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”.
Make the most out of your chance to be one of the lucky ones and get a seat to this stunning show, before they run out!

Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham are two coming of age Mormon missionaries tasked with a mission to a native Ugandan village. Their goal is to convert the villagers to their faith, but they learn upon their arrival that their job is more demanding than they had imagined, given the great deal of local issues that the villagers face such as oppression, an HIV/AIDS epidemic, and poverty among others. The pair then come to accept that they must use more unusual ways to get through to the locals than the usual way that they know.
It is in the pair’s unique dynamic where the performance of The Book of Mormon excels – allowing a serious topic of religion to be blasphemed and injected with comedy, showtunes, and a bit of foulmouthed language, yet still remaining acceptable to its audience. Since its premiere in 2011, the Broadway play has been received positively despite its manner of conveying its message. The Mormon 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 proof of The Book of Mormon’s success. Though most viewers were already eagerly curious 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 seriously fine night of entertainment, and it just keeps on getting better.” The musical’s run in Australia just as successful, with the Sydney Morning Herald even proclaiming that the Book of Mormon is a “dynamite production of a show that has consistently been called the funniest Broadway musical of all time.”
It's no shock that , The Book of Mormon’s several productions worldwide have earned it nine Tony Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, three Outer Circle Critics awards, four Olivier Awards, and two Helpmann Awards.
This upbeat, happy, and totally comedic play continues its tour in New York. New York’s premier theatre venue, Eugene O'Neill Theatre, with its spacious seating capacity, magnificent lighting, and superb sound system will be hosting this August’s performance of The Book of Mormon. Tickets are now available for the Thursday 28th August 2025 showing by clicking the links provided above. Seats are only for sale for a limited time.
