THE BOOK OF MORMON
The Book of Mormon is a musical religious satire which lampoons organized religion and traditional musical theatre.
It tells the story of two young Mormon missionaries sent to a remote village in northern Uganda where a brutal war lord is threatening the local population.
The missionaries are very naive and optimistic and try to share one of their scriptures (the Book of Mormon) with the locals, but they are more worried about war, famine, poverty and AIDS.
The cast of The Book of Mormon in London is led by Dom Simpson as ‘Elder Price’, Tom Xander as ‘Elder Cunningham’, Leanne Robinson as ‘Nabulungi’, Steven Webb, Richard Lloyd-King, Haydn Oakley and Edward Baruwa.
The full company in London includes Thomas Audibert, Philip Catchpole, Christopher Copeland, Joseph Davenport, Tanya Edwards, George Grayson, Myles Hart, Olivia Hibbert, Jed Hoyle, M-Jae Cleopatra Isaac, Georgia Iudica-Davies, Oliver Jacobson, Akmed Junior Khemalai, Ryan Kopel, David McMullan, Jack McNeill, Paige Miller, Sean Parkins, Kirk Patterson, Luke Redmore, Stephen Rolley, Fred Smiley, Patrick Sullivan, Ben Tyler, Anna Van Ruiten and Rebecca-Daisy Wellington.
Book, lyrics and music are by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone. Best known for creating the animated comedy South Park, Parker and Stone co-created the music with Lopez, who co-wrote and co-composed Avenue Q.
The show opened on Broadway in March 2011 winning nine Tony Awards and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. An original Broadway cast recording was released in May 2011 and became the highest-charting Broadway cast album in over four decades reaching No. 3 on the Billboard charts.
