The Book Of Mormon at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium Tickets

Welcome to one of the most spacious and world-class musical theatres, Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium is proud to host the Book of Mormon on November at Thursday 21st November 2024. Known for its world-class staging, interior design, and acoustics, Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium is already praised by both locals and foreigners in Edmonton as its favorite musical venue.

Running at 2 hours and 30 minutes, the Book of Mormon was a new and fresh addition to Broadway theatres when it started over 10 years ago, back in 2011 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The imaginative take on the Book of Mormon was a box office success. In just the first nine months of the show, it broke the weekly box office record 22 times. By mid-2022, it had already taken home more than $1 Billion Dollars worldwide. Over the past decade, the show accumulated awards all over the world 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 key ideas of faith, culture shock, and classic theatre into its comedic musical. Its story features two very different Mormon missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, its main characters, as they are sent on a mission for training to convert the native villagers of a remote village in Uganda to their religion. This proves to be more difficult than expected however, as they discover that the village faces more practical issues such as poverty, famine, an HIV epidemic, and even oppression from the local General. Though not initially successful, it is Cunningham who is able to get through to the villagers with aid from the village leader’s daughter, Nabulungi, and an original approach . Though not as knowledgeable on the Mormon doctrine as his fellow Mormons, he invents stories that are a mix of fact and fiction, copying from pop culture and fantasy works such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings that convince the villagers more to convert. The two methods of Price and Cunningham clash, orthodox and unorthodox. Comedy ensues as they both try to figure out the best way to achieve the mission they set out for in the first place.
