About The Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon is the outrageously funny musical from Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, and Bobby Lopez, co-creator of Avenue Q and Frozen. Two young Mormon missionaries are sent to a remote village in Uganda to convert the locals, but they quickly discover that the villagers have more pressing concerns than the afterlife.
What follows is a hilariously irreverent, shockingly brilliant and surprisingly heartfelt satire of religion, colonialism and the power of storytelling. The Prince of Wales Theatre erupts with laughter every single night. Fair warning: this show is absolutely not for the easily offended — but if you can handle the humour, it's the funniest musical ever written.

“Hilarious but definitely not for everyone — some of the humour is very edgy. If you're comfortable with that, it's the best comedy show in London.”
