Description

Winner of 9 Tony Awards® including 2011 Best Musical.


From Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, and Bobby Lopez, co-creator of Avenue Q, comes a Broadway musical that Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls "the best musical of this century.

This outrageous musical comedy follows the misadventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries, sent halfway across the world to spread the Good Word. One serious and dedicated and the other socially awkward yet well meaning, these Mormons are sent to Uganda to convert citizens to the Mormon religion. When they arrive in Africa, the missionaries find a community grappling with poverty, AIDS and violence.

Entertainment Weekly says The Book of Mormon is "the funniest musical of all time," and Jon Stewart of The Daily Show declares it's "a crowning achievement, so good it makes me angry."

This show is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission. Parental advisory: Contains explicit language. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.

"Find a plan B"

I researched.. or so I thought. Never thought to come here to this platform. Once I saw the show .. I kept googling to try to find negative review.. because I couldn’t be the only person who thought this was the worst show- ever. Complete waste of money and time. I was disgusted.. I was uncomfortable ( talking about women and genital circumcision). The swearing.. the one character telling everyone he has maggots in his scrotum.) No one in audience was laughing.. some left at the intermission. I was too stubborn and thought it would get better. The singers were great.. the content and storyline was very poor taste. If this is a must see.. I feel bad about where the world is headed. Be warned.. find a plan B. And if you liked it- good on you..

"Great musical with a sidenote of caution..."

We had always wanted to see this musical and finally made it to Broadway to see it. It was a great show, funny and entertaining with lots of talented actors as well. I can only caution those that are very religious and easily offended that you might want to pick a different play to go see. It's irreverant but very funny!!

"Absolute sh*te!"

Absolute sh*te! Saw this in Bradford last night. Left and went home at the interval it is so bad. I'm a gay women and i take offence to nothing. Take the mick out of god or women or gays or anyone but running about the stage pretending to be a ugandan shouting 'ive got magots in my scrotum'. Eh? What form of humour is that? You arent even taking a stereotype and poking fun it. I felt repulsed by it to he honest and that's the first time in my life I've ever said that about any comedic performance or sketch or tv ot pretty much anything. South Park was funny but this is total sh*te. Im just sorry i cant retrieve that wasted 90 minutes of my life
