Launching in 2011, The Book of Mormon has undoubtedly been one of the most successful Broadway musicals since its inception. A collaboration by Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez, the musical is a different perspective on the Latter-day Saints (LDS) founder and prophet Joseph Smith and his Book of Mormon. The show was intended to debut off Broadway at the New York Theatre workshop after its 2008 staged reading, though this turned out to be a blessing in disguise as its actual premiere in 2011 moved to a more prominent location at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre.
After a year, the Book of Mormon was already given the go-ahead for a U.S. national tour that lasted four years, including a season in Salt Lake City, Utah! The show also proceeded to be produced in several locations, with a Chicago production produced in 2012, a West End production in 2013, and Australian and European productions both staged in 2017.
The storytelling and satire of this musical were key factors to this success. It shares the story of Elder Kevin Price and Elder Arnold Cunningham, two Mormon missionaries who embark on a mission to spread their religion in a remote village in Uganda. It is there that they contend with the indifference of the locals, as well as their opposite methods in teaching their faith, given that Cunningham chooses to teach the villagers by tacking on fictional parts from science fiction and fantasy stories into his religious teachings, while Price is resolved to teach the villagers in the usual, orthodox manner. The way the musical is shared with the audience is performed in quite an unorthodox manner as well, usually mocking religion in its script and also injecting comedy in both of its acts, including its upbeat showtunes.
For its current production, the Book of Mormon will be in San Diego in June at the grand theatre venue of San Diego Civic Theatre, which holds an outstanding stage, sound system and acoustics, and top facilities that is fit for this word-class show. Tickets for the musical on Saturday 14th June 2025 are available for purchase by clicking the link above.
