The Book of Mormon - Broadway Articles Page 2

Casting is being announced for the Broadway return of THE BOOK OF MORMON. The production, the winner of nine 2011 Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album, resumes performances on Friday, November 5, 2021 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre (230 West 49th Street). 

Another show has announced its return to Broadway! Producer Anne Garefino announced today that THE BOOK OF MORMON, winner of nine 2011 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the Grammy® for Best Musical Theatre Album, will once again say ‘Hello!’ to Broadway. Get the scoop on when it's returning, how to get tickets, and more!

The Book of Mormon creators will convene with actors to discuss potentially problematic instances in the script. This comes after twenty Black cast members from the original and current Broadway cast wrote a private letter to Matt Stone, Trey Parker, and Robert Lopez, expressing concerns.

Josh Gad recently appeared on People's Couch Surfing series to chat with host Lola Ogunnaike about his new show Central Park and more!

THE BOOK OF MORMON, winner of nine Tony Awards® including Best Musical, is pleased to announce a lottery ticket policy for the National Tour, which begins November 5 at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis and plays a limited one-week engagement through Sunday, November 10. In Memphis, the production will conduct a pre-show lottery at the box office, making a limited number of tickets available at $25 apiece.

The Book of Mormon has officially surpassed the run of 42nd Street as Broadway's 14th running show, following today's 3,487th performance.

Splashy casting news is plenty exciting but we're taking a moment to give a shoutout to the casts of some of Broadway's long-running shows. Meet the current cast of The Book of Mormon below!

Tonight, the Broadway production of the Tony Award-winning musical, The Book of Mormon celebrates its 3,389th performance, surpassing the run of the original Broadway production of Grease.

Just last month, the Broadway production of The Book of Mormon celebrated its 8th Anniversary at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre (230 West 49th Street), where it is the longest running show in the theatre's history, and has broken the house record over 50 times. Below, we are excited to exclusively share a brand new photo of the current cast, featuring Cody Jamison Strand, Kim Exum and Dave Thomas Brown!

The Book Of Mormon is doing something incredible! This weekend, the nine-time Tony Awards winner marks two major milestones on Broadway and on National Tour.

With The Book of Mormon's 3,243rd performance, the Broadway run of the show surpasses the run of the original production of Fiddler on the Roof.

The assumption when you take your seat for THE BOOK OF MORMON is that you will laugh, perhaps even laugh a lot, but that is far from the truth. You are much more likely to be in physical pain from full-belly laughing for nearly the entire show. Trey Parker and Matt Stone did an exceptional job using humor as a vehicle for some excellent life lessons.

Tonight, November 2, 2018, Broadway's THE BOOK OF MORMON will play its 3,183rd performance, at which point it will become the longest running production in the history of the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. The previous record holder was the original production of Tobacco Road, which spent most of its 3,182-performance run at the Forrest Theatre (now the O'Neill).

Invigorating music, impressive choreography, and unexpected hilarious humour are a few things that THE BOOK OF MORMON brought to its tour stop in Vancouver with Broadway Across Canada. With its original opening number, 'Hello', audiences were greeted with enthusiastically wide grins and high-energy singing during Wednesday night's performance at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on September 26th. Whether it was your first time seeing the show or your fourth, it was guaranteed you left the show feeling satisfied and pleasantly surprised at the same time!

An exuberant blend of toe-tapping hits and raunchy comedy, The Book of Mormon knocked on the door of Broadway's Eugene O'Neill Theatre in 2011, later receiving 9 Tony Awards including the coveted title of Best Musical. Written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone along with Avenue Q co-writer Robert Lopez, this flamboyant mega-hit pokes fun at Mormonism and musicals in general, daring audiences not to be swept away by a riptide of crude humour and blatant social commentary.

It's hard to believe The Book of Mormon is already on making its 4th return to Denver. Since premiering its tour in Denver in 2012, the mega-hit returned in 2013 and 2015, yet it's still one of the hottest tickets. And are we really surprised?

On May 26th, 2018, the celebrated Broadway production of The Book of Mormon played its 3,000th performance, passing the elite milestone as the curtain came down Saturday night at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre.

Bawdy, blasphemous, brilliant and blithe! The Book of Mormon has returned after a two year absence and Sacramento is ready! The winner of 9 Tony Awards, The Book of Mormon is a hilarious depiction of the Mormon religion by the creators of South Park (Trey Parker and Matt Stone) and Avenue Q (Robert Lopez).

The Book of Mormon has a new missionary! BroadwayWorld has just learned that Dave Thomas Brown, last seen on Broadway in American Psycho, will take over the lead role of Elder Kevin Price beginning February 20.

Original Book of Mormon star Josh Gad shared a photo on Twitter of himself with some other original cast members from the show, including Andrew Rannells, Rory O'Malley, Jason Michael Snow and Michael James Scott. Check out the photo below!

SHN: Broadway in San Francisco shared a video on Twitter yesterday that depicted a timelapse of the San Francisco company of The Book of Mormon loading in. The video shows the crew piecing together the set and allows fans to get a glimpse of how their favorite show is created.

THE BOOK OF MORMON, winner of nine Tony Awards® including Best Musical, has broken the house record in Salt Lake City for the week ending August 20, 2017 at the Eccles Theater grossing $1,779,310.50 for a standard 8-performance week.

CBLDF is reporting that The Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City is no longer allowing beer, served at the concession stands, into the theatre because of a very specific law.

The Broadway production of The Book of Mormon has just surpassed $500 Million in total gross ticket sales since it first premiered at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on February 24, 2011.
