The Book of Mormon

0 upcoming performances in New York

Now playing at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, *The Book of Mormon* is a musical comedy by Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez. It follows two young Latter-day Saint missionaries sent to a Ugandan village, where idealistic lessons meet the realities of disease, hunger, and violence. The show opened on Broadway in 2011 and quickly became a touchstone in New York theater for pushing satire into mainstream commercial musical form. Its critical edge is that it treats belief as both refuge and problem, without offering tidy relief.
