The Book Of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Welcome to one of the most spacious and top-tier show venues, Eugene O'Neill Theatre is showcasing the Book of Mormon on April at Saturday 18th April 2026. Known for its world-class staging, facilties, and spacious seating, Eugene O'Neill Theatre is already loved by both locals and foreigners in New York as its top musical venue.

Running at 2 hours and 30 minutes, the Book of Mormon was a surprising yet welcome addition to Broadway theatres when it debuted over a decade ago, back in 2011 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The imaginative take on the Book of Mormon was a box office success. 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 Book of Mormon amassed awards as well, ranging from Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Olivier Awards, Drama Desk Awards and Helpmann awards among other citations!

The Book of Mormon blends the themes of religion, 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 leading characters, as they perform their two-year mission to convert the local population of a small African village in Uganda to Mormonism. It turns out to be a painstaking mission however, as they learn that the village faces more urgent affairs such as poverty, famine, an HIV/AIDS epidemic, and even oppression from a local warlord. Though not initially successful, it is Cunningham who is able to successfully preach to the locals with help from the local leader’s daughter, Nabulungi, and a bit of creativity. Though not as competent on the Mormon doctrine as his companions, he creates relatable stories that are a mix of fact and fiction, drawing information from pop culture and fantasy works such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings that convince the villagers more to convert. The two methods 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.
