Those looking for something fresh and modern in Alberta now have another reason to be excited, as The Book of Mormon will be having a production in Edmonton, performing at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on Sunday 24th November 2024. Experience unending laughter from watching the production of the same creators of South Park and the musical Avenue Q.
The Book of Mormon is a show about religious conversion, specifically of the journey of Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, who through clever ways, attempt to convert villagers of a local village in Uganda. This Tony Award-winning musical, that has proceeded to have successful showings in the U.S., London, and Australia, running for more than a decade to date, makes us laugh out loud but retains a meaningful narrative, with comedy through classical theatre and showtunes.
Purchase your seats now and make sure you're a part of yet another full house showing of The Book of Mormon as it comes to Edmonton!

Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium
Welcome to Edmonton's most spacious and top-tier play venues, Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium is proud to host the Book of Mormon on November at Sunday 24th November 2024. Known for its world-class staging, interior design, and acoustics, Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium is already applauded by both locals and tourists in Edmonton as its favorite musical venue.
The musical runs at 2 hours and 30 minutes, the Book of Mormon was a new and fresh addition to Broadway theatres when it started over a decade ago, back in 2011 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The creative 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 earned more than $1 Billion Dollars around the world. Over the past decade, the show 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 other citations!
The Book of Mormon mixes the key ideas of faith, culture shock, and classic theatre into its comedic musical. Its narrative features two very different Mormon missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, its leading characters, as they are sent on a mission for training to convert the local population of a small African village in Uganda to Mormonism. This proves to be more difficult than expected however, as they learn that the village faces more urgent affairs such as poverty, famine, an HIV epidemic, and even oppression from the local General. Thinking outside the box, it is Cunningham who is able to get through to the villagers with help from the village 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, drawing information 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 respectively, as they struggle try to strategize the best way to achieve the mission they set out for in the first place.
