The Book Of Mormon at Hollywood Pantages Theatre

Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham are two missionaries of the Latter-day saints (LDS) tasked with a mission to a local Ugandan village. Their mission is to convert the locals to their faith, but they learn upon their arrival that their job is more difficult than they had imagined, given the abundance of local issues that the villagers are against such as oppression, an HIV/AIDS epidemic, and poverty among others. The pair then come to accept that they must utilize more unique methods to get through to the locals than the orthodox way that they know.

It is in the pair’s unique dynamic where the performance of The Book of Mormon shines – allowing a serious topic of religion to be blasphemed and injected with comedy, showtunes, and a bit of crude language, yet still remaining unobjectionable to its audience. Since its opening night in 2011, the musical has been received positively despite its manner of sharing its story. The church itself supported the musical, buying ads and releasing marketing marketing material that stated: “You’ve seen the play, now read the book.” In its West End productions, the repeatedly sold-out shows were proof 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 a thought provoking tale that just keeps on getting better.” The musical’s run in Australia also loved by theatre fans, with the Sydney Morning Herald even proclaiming that the Book of Mormon is a “dynamite production of a show that has consistently been called the funniest Broadway musical of all time.”

It's no shock that because of the musical's creativity, The Book of Mormon’s several shows worldwide 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 comedic show continues its tour in California. Los Angeles’s ultimate theatre venue, Hollywood Pantages Theatre, with its spacious seating capacity, outstanding lighting, and superb sound system will be hosting this February’s performance of The Book of Mormon.
