The Book of Mormon is back in Toronto, and it is only here for three weeks. The landmark musical, with book, music, and lyrics by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone, opens April 7th at the Princess of Wales Theatre for a strictly limited engagement running through April 26th. This marks the show’s fifth engagement on Mirvish stages, following a sold-out run in 2024, and tickets are available now at mirvish.com or by calling 1.800.461.3333.
The credentials behind The Book of Mormon remain staggering fifteen years after it first opened on Broadway. Nine Tony Awards including Best Musical, a Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album, five Drama Desk Awards, four Olivier Awards from its West End run, and more than 30 international awards across three continents. It broke the Eugene O’Neill Theatre house record more than 50 times on Broadway and shattered single-day sales records in London’s West End. The Original Broadway Cast Recording on Ghostlight Records remains the standard against which musical theatre albums are measured.
The touring production is directed and choreographed by Jennifer Werner, based on the original Broadway direction by Parker and two-time Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw. The creative team behind the design is equally decorated, with Tony Award winners Scott Pask (set), Ann Roth (costumes), Brian MacDevitt (lighting), Brian Ronan (sound), Larry Hochman, and Stephen Oremus all contributing to a production built to the same standard that made the show a global phenomenon.
Performances run Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 7:30pm, with Wednesday and weekend matinees. Three weeks at the Princess of Wales Theatre, and then it is gone. Do not wait on this one.
