The Book Of Mormon tickets

Originating from Broadway, it’s time for Alberta to fall in love with theatre again as the musical comedy Book of Mormon will be touring in Edmonton at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on Saturday 23rd November 2024.

The witty and sometimes rude and crude musical Book of Mormon follows the story of two Mormon Elders in training to become missionaries – Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, who are tasked with a mission to a remote village in Uganda to convert its residents. The musical deliberately satirizes religious belief in general through the eyes of the pair, as Cunningham comes up with an unorthodox manner to teach religion to the locals.

The Book of Mormon was created by Robert Lopez, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone, the same creators of the cartoon TV series South Park and the Broadway play Avenue Q.

Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham are two missionaries of the Latter-day saints (LDS) tasked with a mission to a native Ugandan village. Their goal is to convert the locals to their faith, but they realize upon their arrival that their job is more complex than they had assumed, given the great deal of local issues that the villagers face such as a local warlord, an HIV/AIDS epidemic, and poverty among others. The pair then come to accept that they must utilize more unusual ways to convert the population than the orthodox means that they know.

It is in this duo's difficult journey where the performance of The Book of Mormon excels – allowing the subject matter of religion to be blasphemed and made fun of with comedy, showtunes, and a bit of foulmouthed language, yet still remaining inoffensive to its audience. Since its opening night in 2011, the Broadway play has been received positively despite its manner of challenging religious belief. The church itself supported the musical, purchasing 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. Though most viewers were already drawn in given the content and theme of the play, according to The Guardian, it was even to their shock 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 also loved by theatre fans, with the Sydney Morning Herald even declaring that the Book of Mormon is a “dynamite production of a show that can lay fair claim to being the funniest Broadway musical of all time.”

What comes as no surprise however is that due to its success, The Book of Mormon’s several shows globally 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 silly musical continues its tour in Alberta. Edmonton’s ultimate theatre venue, Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, with its spacious seating capacity, impeccable lighting, and masterful sound system will be hosting this November’s performance of The Book of Mormon.
