By mid-2022, it had already taken home more than $1 Billion Dollars worldwide. Showing throughout the past decade, the musical amassed awards over all of its productions globally as well, ranging from Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Olivier Awards, Drama Desk Awards and Helpmann awards among many other acclaims!
The Book of Mormon blends the themes of religion, culture shock, and classic theatre into its comedic musical. Its plot features two very different Latter-day saints (LDS) missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, its leading characters, as they are tasked to preach their faith to convert the local population of a small African village in Uganda to their religion. This proves to be more difficult than expected however, as they discover that the village faces more urgent affairs such as poverty, famine, an AIDS epidemic, and even oppression from the local General. Faced with the challenge, it is Cunningham who is able to get through to the locals with aid from the local leader’s daughter, Nabulungi, and an original approach . Though not as knowledgeable on the Mormon doctrine as his fellow Mormons, he creates relatable stories that are a mix of fact and fiction, copying from science fiction and fantasy works such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings that convince the villagers more to convert. The two techniques of Price and Cunningham clash, orthodox and unorthodox. Comedy ensues as they both try to conceive the best way to achieve the mission they set out for in the first place.
The Book of Mormon’s decade-long run goes on tour in Houston. Tickets are available by clicking the link above.
