The Book of Mormon

Hello! We would like to share with you the most amazing musical: The Book of Mormon. See the hit musical comedy from the double EGOT winner Robert Lopez, and the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, in the West End. This show will change your life, so what are you waiting for? The Book of Mormon tickets are available on TodayTix.

One of the West End’s longest running musicals, The Book of Mormon is playing at the Prince of Wales Theatre since 2013. LondonTheatre.co.uk raved in a review that “Like the contents of The Book of Mormon itself, this show could well end-up being the stuff of legend.”

The Book of Mormon musical follows Elder Price, a rising star in his church and a shining example for all the Mormons around him. When it’s his turn to go on his mission, he dreams of going to Orlando to spread his faith. So when he ends up in Uganda with the awkward Elder Cunningham, he struggles to see “God’s plan.”

The missionaries and the locals live totally different lives. While the missionaries are concerned they can’t convert their new neighbours to Mormonism, the locals are doing all it takes to survive in a war-torn country. At one point, it seems as if Elder Price and Elder Cunningham are in way over their heads. That’s until they meet the local young woman Nabulungi, who believes everything Elder Cunningham says and dreams of a simpler life.

South Park creators Matt Parker and Trey Stone and Avenue Q and Frozen’s Robert Lopez began discussing a musical about Mormons in 2003. From there, they went on to hold developmental workshops from 2008, before opening directly on Broadway in 2011. The Book of Mormon then opened in the West End’s Prince of Wales Theatre in 2013, where it still plays today.

Get ready for hilarious songs throughout The Book of Mormon like “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream,” “Baptise Me,” and the whistlestop Mormon history song, “All-American Prophet,” and enjoy all of The Book of Mormon songs from the Grammy Award-winning score. Find out what makes the musical one of the West End’s biggest hits and longest-running shows today.

Did you know that all of the beliefs The Book of Mormon musical satirises are real? That’s right, as wild as the show is, it’s based on tenets of the actual Book of Mormon. For example, Joseph Smith really believed he translated the Mormon text from golden plates. However, while the show’s drawn attention for its religious satire, the musical’s message about faith and belief has captured the hearts of audiences.

The musical began Broadway performances at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre on 24 Feb. 2011, and officially opened a month later. The show won nine Tony Awards in 2011, including Best New Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score categories. After dominating Broadway, the Mormon word finally came to the West End, beginning performances on 25 Feb. 2013.

The Book of Mormon pulls together a cracking creative team. Alongside Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez who created The Book of Mormon musical, there’s excellent direction and choreography by Tony winner Casey Nicholaw (watch out for the tap dancing in “Turn It Off”), and set design by Scott Pask that’s of Biblical proportions.

What to Watch For

• When Matt Parker, Trey Stone, and Robert Lopez were writing the show, they spent time in Salt Lake City, Utah in order to capture authentic experiences. Over half of Salt Lake City inhabitants are Mormon.
• The Frozen and The Book of Mormon connections don’t just stop with Robert Lopez. Josh Gad, who originated the role of Elder Cunningham, went on to play the animated snowman, Olaf, in Frozen.
• Even though The Book of Mormon is not directly affiliated with the religion, the Latter Day Saints church wanted to make their mark on the show. The church took out ads in The Book of Mormon programs, inviting audiences to read the original text once they’d seen the show.
• There are popular culture references for Nabulungi’s name, and she’s called different things throughout the show. Listen for all the references as you watch the show; she’ll be referred to as a variety of people and objects beginning with ‘n’.
