The national non-Equity tour of The Book of Mormon has landed in Kansas City and if the roar of laughter on opening night is any indication, Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez’s irreverent musical comedy hasn’t lost its bite. It is only a gentle elbow at the LDS church. If you can get past the coarse language, this is funny stuff
The record-setting, multi-Tony Award winning musical THE BOOK OF MORMON will make its return to Atlanta from June 24 - 29 as the final production in the 2024 - 2025 Regions Bank Broadway in Atlanta season at The Fox Theatre. Among the cast is Jarius Miquel Cliett, who plays Mafala Hatimbi and who has deep roots in Atlanta. I had the chance to catch up with Jarius to discuss his journey in the theatre, his experiences with the show, and his excitement about performing for a hometown crowd.
“The Book of Mormon” has landed in San Diego again. This irreverent juggernaut of musical comedy remains equal parts send-up and strangely sincere love letter to the power of belief (no matter how embellished).

The Book of Mormon tour makes its highly anticipated stop at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis from December 10 to December 15, 2024, offering audiences a week of uproarious laughter, toe-tapping music, and unforgettable performances.

It’s been roughly six years since one of the most outrageous Broadway musicals to exist graced the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Courtesy of Broadway Across Canada, THE BOOK OF MORMON returned to the Vancouver stage this week for a series of performances playing from November 12 to 17. A combination of both satire and song, audiences were taken on a wild musical theatre ride that elicited irrepressible laughter and feeling.
The show works because it forces us to identify with these well-meaning Mormon kids, which has the double effect of indicting our own sense of cultural supremacy while also softening the slurs toward its Latter-Day Saints.
There is no parental rating system for musicals, but after watching THE BOOK OF MORMON, some might believe there should be. It is not for the easily offended, but those who open that door are in for an unforgettable evening.
If you're ready to laugh, cringe, and convert, THE BOOK OF MORMON pokes good (un)clean fun right into the heart of organized religion. This musical is a religious experience, a testament to the power of laughter, the spirit of musical theater, and a whole lot of heart.
I saw this show for the first time in New York almost ten years ago. It was so popular then, having won nine Tony Awards just a few years before that.

What did our critic think of REVIEW: THE BOOK OF MORMON AT THE NATIONAL THEATRE at National Theatre? THE BOOK OF MORMON at the National Theatre is one of the most amazing performances of the season. This uproariously funny show is flippant and fantastic.
Whether or not this is the first production someone has seen of The Book of Mormon, the talent holds up as the actors fully embrace their roles, while the remaining elements still perfectly fit the show's intent as it spreads its messages all over the country. Audiences lauded the funny shock value and energetic performances on opening night.
Dear Readers, I hope you already have your tickets to “The Book of Mormon”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre, because it’s pretty much sold out. And with good reason as it’s a near perfect show.
The cast of THE BOOK OF MORMON is here to say “Hello” at Broadway San Diego through September 24th. As outrageous as ever, but with some timely but minimal updates this show about some mismatched missionaries is still an energetic, and entertaining road trip show about faith and friendship.
