This follows its successful Sydney season which opened July and runs to the end of the year at the Capitol Theatre Sydney. Read what our reviewer had to say about the show:

“The Book of Mormon is funniest, filthiest and most gloriously fearless musical ever to hit the Australian stage.” The Scoop

The Australian premiere season in Melbourne in 2015 broke the record for the highest selling on-sale period of any production in Melbourne’s Princess Theatre’s 159-year history. It also won the Helpmann Award for Best Musical.

The cast includes Sean Johnston (Hairspray) as Elder Price, Nick Cox (Beauty and the Beast) as Elder Cunningham, Paris Leveque who is making her professional debut as Nabulungi, Tom Struik (Sister Act the Musical) as Elder McKinley, Simbarashe Matshe  (Filthy Business) as Mafala Hatimbi, Augie Tchantcho who is reprising his role as The General and Matthew Hamilton (Tina – The Tina Turner Musical) as Mission President.

Winner of nine Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the Grammy® for Best Musical Theatre album, THE BOOK OF MORMON follows a pair of mismatched Mormon boys sent on a mission to a place that’s about as far from Salt Lake City as you can get.

THE BOOK OF MORMON made its world premiere in March 2011 at Broadway’s Eugene O’Neil Theatre. The London production opened in February 2013 at the Prince of Wales Theatre, winning four Olivier Awards®, including Best New Musical.

The show has set house records at 27 theatres across the US and broke theatre sales records at New York’s Eugene O’Neill Theater more than 50 times. The London production broke box office records for the highest single day of sales in West End history.
