The Book Of Mormon

A comedy musical with book, music and lyrics by Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robert Lopez, staged at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London. It follows two Mormon missionaries sent to a Ugandan village.

The Book of Mormon is a comedy musical written by Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robert Lopez. Parker and Stone also created the animated series South Park, and Lopez co-created Avenue Q. The show first played in New York at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, where it won nine Tony Awards from fourteen nominations, including honours for its score and its book. The London production is staged at the Prince of Wales Theatre in the West End.

The story follows two young missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, who travel to a remote Ugandan village to share their faith. The villagers are more preoccupied with oppression, the threat of war, famine and AIDS than with the doctrine the pair bring. In the London cast, Dom Simpson plays Elder Price, Tom Xander plays Elder Cunningham and Richard Lloyd King plays Mafala Hatimbi, alongside other performers.

The score includes songs such as "Hello", "Turn It Off", "Baptize Me", "I Believe" and "All American Prophet". The production is presented as a comedy and light entertainment.
