The Book of Mormon

About The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon brings irreverent comedy and sharp wit to the Prince of Wales Theatre, courtesy of the creative minds behind South Park. Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez (co-creator of Avenue Q) have crafted a satirical musical masterpiece that follows two young Mormon missionaries, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, on their mission to a remote Ugandan village.

This Tony Award-winning production has earned critical acclaim since its West End debut in 2013, winning 9 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score. The show also claimed a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album and multiple Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical. With memorable numbers like "I Believe," "Hello," and "Hasa Diga Eebowai," the musical blends satirical humour with surprisingly touching moments as the missionaries face cultural clashes, poverty, and unexpected connections in their new environment.

What to Expect

Prepare for a bold, high-energy comedy packed with sharp humour, brilliant vocals, and nonstop laughs. The production delivers slick staging and tight choreography, with a fearless cast that keeps the jokes flying throughout this outrageous and hysterically funny experience. The show runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes with one 15-minute interval, giving you time to catch your breath between the fast-paced comedy.

The bold production design and grand scale performances have made this a staple of London's theatre scene. From start to finish, you'll witness fresh, fearless comedy that tackles themes of faith and culture with the creators' signature wit and unexpected heart.
