The Book Of Mormon tour comes to Nottingham Theatre Royal

Smash-hit musical The Book Of Mormon is finally coming to Nottingham after a covid delay.

It is at the Theatre Royal from Wednesday, August 17, to Saturday, September, 10.

The musical, written by Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robert Lopez, has been seen by 17m people so far around the world, including in London’s West End since February 2013.

The Book Of Mormon follows a pair of Mormon boys sent on a mission to a place that’s a long way from their home in Salt Lake City.

They head to Africa to preach their religion, sharing their scriptures with a small village in Uganda, but find it difficult to interest the locals who have much bigger things to worry about with famine, and local warlords.

It features songs Hello, All American Prophet, I Believe and I Am Africa.

The cast is led by Robert Colvin as Elder Price, Conner Peirson as Elder Cunningham, Aviva Tulley as Nabulungi, Jordan Lee Davies, Ewen Cummins, Johnathan Tweedie and Thomas Vernal.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are the creators of the Emmy and Peabody award-winning television show, South Park, and the feature films South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut and Team America: World Police.

Robert Lopez co-created the Broadway musical Avenue Q and co-wrote the songs for Disney’s Frozen and Coco.

The Book of Mormon is co-directed and choreographed by the award-winning Casey Nicholaw, whose other Broadway and West End credits include Disney’s Aladdin, Dreamgirls, Mean Girls, Monty Python’s Spamalot, Something Rotten! and Elf: The Musical.

Since making its world premiere in March 2011 at New York’s Eugene O’Neill Theatre, where it won nine Tony Awards, including best musical, The Book Of Mormon has been performed on three continents and won over 30 international awards.

It has won four Olivier Awards in the West End, including best new musical.
