Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham are two missionaries of the Latter-day saints (LDS) tasked with a mission to a native Ugandan village. Their mission is to convert the villagers to their faith, but they find out upon their arrival that their job is more complex than they had assumed, given the abundance of local issues that the villagers are against such as oppression, an HIV/AIDS epidemic, and poverty among others. The pair then come to accept that they must employ more creative methods to succeed in their mission than the usual way that they know.

It is in the pair’s differing ways where the performance of The Book of Mormon shines – allowing the subject matter of religion to be blasphemed and injected with comedy, showtunes, and a bit of crude language, yet still remaining acceptable to theatre fans. Since its opening night in 2011, the The Book of Mormon has been received positively despite its manner of challenging religious belief. The Mormon church itself supported the musical, buying ads and releasing slogans specifically that stated: “You’ve seen the play, now read the book.” In its West End productions, the repeatedly sold-out shows were prime examples of The Book of Mormon’s success. Theatre goers were already eagerly curious given the content and theme of the play, according to The Guardian, it was even to their surprise that “suddenly you realize you’re in for not just humour but a seriously fine night of entertainment, and it just keeps on getting better.” The musical’s run in Australia met with a similar positive reception, with the Sydney Morning Herald even reviewing that the Book of Mormon is a “dynamite production of a show that has consistently been called the funniest Broadway musical of all time.”

It's no shock that because of the musical's creativity, The Book of Mormon’s several productions worldwide have earned it nine Tony Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, three Outer Circle Critics awards, four Olivier Awards, and two Helpmann Awards.

This upbeat, happy, and totally hilarious musical continues its tour in Minnesota. Minneapolis’s leading theatre venue, Orpheum Theatre, with its spacious seating capacity, outstanding lighting, and superb sound system will be hosting this December’s performance of The Book of Mormon.
