Back by popular demand, THE BOOK OF MORMON, which played a record-breaking three-week run in 2013 returns to Cleveland for a limited engagement September 6 - 15, 2019 at Playhouse Square.

Should I laugh out loud? What is everyone else thinking? Is this for real? These emotions and thoughts are not usually associated with a musical comedy, but THE BOOK OF MORMON is anything but your typical musical. The blockbuster 2011 musical from the creators of TV's 'South Park' can best be described as a brilliant and irreverent absurd extravaganza that would make the most uptight school marm giggle and blush. It's not often that the subject of a relatively modern religion could create enough comedy fodder to engage audiences all over our often racially and religiously divided country, but hold on to your hats for a whirlwind of comic genius. The national tour is playing at Shea's for the rest of this week.

Below, check out how each show fared individually in BWW's list of nominations by show.
