Event Series: The Book of Mormon

JONES Theatrical Group: The Book of Mormon

8 February @ 6:30 pm - 10 February @ 9:30 pm AEDT

Hello! The Mormons are back! First seen in Australia in 2017, The Book of Mormon is blasphemous, scurrilous, puerile, rude, satirical – and one of the funniest, sweetest, most joyous musicals ever staged. Written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, with Robert Lopez, the 2011 show won nine Tony Awards. It follows two neophyte missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – the narcissistic Elder Price and the goofy Elder Cunningham – who are sent to spread the word in AIDS-ravaged Uganda. Directed by Casey Nicholaw and Parker, it’s a delight from start to finish, with fabulous songs. Leave any prudishness at the door. As The New York Times said, “… trust me when I tell you that its heart is as pure as that of a Rodgers and Hammerstein show.”

Limelight Editor’s Choice


The New York Times calls it “the best musical of this century.” The Washington Post says, “It is the kind of evening that restores your faith in musicals.” And Entertainment Weekly says, “Grade A: the funniest musical of all time.” It’s The Book of Mormon, the nine-time 
Tony Award®-winning Best Musical.

This outrageous musical comedy follows the misadventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries, sent on a mission to a place that’s about as far from Salt Lake City as you can get. The Book of Mormon has truly become an international sensation.
