With a book, music and lyrics by Robert Lopez, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, The Book of Mormon follows two young missionaries who are sent to Uganda to try to convert citizens to the Mormon religion. One missionary, Elder Price, is an enthusiastic go-getter with a strong dedication to his faith, while his partner, Elder Cunningham, is a socially awkward but well meaning nerd whose tendency to embroider the truth soon lands him in trouble. Upon their arrival in Africa, Elders Price and Cunningham learn that a successful mission may not be as easy as they expected.

Casey Nicholaw and Parker co-directed the production, which features choreography by Nicholaw and musical direction by Stephen Oremus.

The Book of Mormon was nominated for 14 Tony Awards in 2011 and took home trophies for musical, book, score, sound design, lighting design, scenic design, orchestrations, direction and for Nikki M. James' featured performance. In 2014, the West End production earned both Gavin Creel and Stephen Ashfield Olivier Awards and garnered trophies for Nicholaw's choreography and for Best Musical.
