Why You Must See The Book of Mormon
There are many great shows in musical theater—excellent ones, even groundbreaking—but there are very few that redefine what a musical can be. The Book of Mormon is unique. Produced by South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with Robert Lopez (who co-created both Avenue Q and Frozen), the show is a combination of satire, heartfelt storytelling, and musical genius unlike anything else out there.
Here are 10 of the biggest reasons audiences keep coming back to The Book of Mormon.

Buy Your Tickets Early
Most evenings, that show sells out. The earlier you buy your tickets, the more choices you’ll have.
Arrive Early
