The show, which won nine Tony Awards including Best Musical, follows a pair of Mormon boys sent on a mission to a place that’s a long way from Salt Lake City. Directed by Casey Nicholaw and Trey Parker, The Book of Mormon runs at the Prince of Wales Theatre from 25 February 2013. - by Rosie Bannister Related Content

| Comment | Date | | looking forward for this production. The Book of Mormon is such a great musical, nicely written. - Helena | 14 Nov 12 |
| | Becky- You will LOVE the show. Just saw it in Los Angeles with Gavin Creel and Jared Gertner and they were AMAZING. - David in LA | 11 Nov 12 |
| | I am really excited about this!
I recently saw Daniel in Loserville at the Garrick and, whilst the production wasn't amazing, I thought he was really good and perfectly channeled a trekkie! I think he'll be good in the cast - isn't he covering Elder Cunningham?
I must say I find it a bit strange that they are taking two American actors from the tour and putting them in the original West End cast. I wonder what Equity thinks? Although I suppose they know the roles well and that is why they are bringing the show over.
Got my tickets for March 2013! - Becky | 09 Nov 12 |
