The Book of Mormon, one of the top box office hits in Broadway history, will now be available in Chicago! and showing at Cadillac Palace on Sunday 15th September 2024!
This tale is of the missionary journey of an odd pair of two Mormon missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, the Book of Mormon creatively challenges religion and religious storytelling, and presents it in a fresh comedic light. The two missionaries are given a mission to enlighten the residents of a local village in Uganda, who turn out to be indifferent to what they aim to preach.
The Book of Mormon was just an idea back in 2003 by creators Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez, continuing on to its first performance in 2011. Since then, the musical comedy has become one of the most commercially successful Broadway plays in history, with repeatedly full houses for over a decade.
The Book of Mormon will only be performing in Chicago’s Cadillac Palace for a limited time this fall. Don’t wait for seats to run out on this popular Sunday showing!
