Book of Mormon Tickets
The Book of Mormon ranks among the all-time most popular live shows. The hilarious musical by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the animated TV show South Park, brings their brand of humor to the stage. The Book of Mormon tells the tale of 2 missionaries sent to Uganda, Elders Price and Cunningham. Price is a devout, straight-laced fellow who is confident he can convert the population of the village they are sent to help. The villagers live in squalor and are ruled over by a rather disagreeable chief. Cunningham is neither confident nor all that well versed in the tenants of his faith. Price's enthusiasm soon wanes as the villagers and chief resist his attempts to convert them.
The original Broadway production opened March 24, 2011 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre to nearly universal positive reviews. The subject of the musical's parody, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, did not condemn it, and Parker and Stone stated most of the feedback they've received from Mormon viewers has been positive. The production earned 14 nominations and 9 wins in the 2011 Tony Awards. The Drama League, New York Drama Critics, Outer Critics Circle, and Drama Desk all gave their top musical honors to The Book of Mormon.
