Jam-packed with satirical humour by South Park writers Trey Parker and Matt Stone, as well as Robert Lopez, The Book of Mormon is a fast-paced, no-holds-barred production. The Book of Mormon reopens at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre from November 5. The Book of Mormon tickets in New York are on sale now.
Taking Broadway and the rest of the world by storm, this outrageous musical comedy officially opened at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre on March 24, 2011. The New York Times hailed it as "the best musical of the century." The show went on to collect an astonishing nine Tonys, including best musical. Original cast members Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad (Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, respectively) became instant Broadway favorites too.
The musical’s score includes the signature introduction number of “Hello”, where the Mormons greet the audience.

The Book of Mormon choreography is by Casey Nicholaw.
