About the Book of Mormon on Broadway

The Book of Mormon opened on Broadway at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre in March 2011 and quickly became one of the most successful musicals of its time. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone (of South Park) alongside composer Robert Lopez, the show spent several years in development before its debut. It went on to win nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, as well as a Grammy Award for its cast recording, and has remained a major box office success ever since.

The musical follows two very different Mormon missionaries sent to Uganda, where they struggle to connect with the local community. What sets the show apart is its ability to balance bold, satirical humor with a traditional Broadway structure, featuring upbeat songs, energetic choreography, and a surprisingly heartfelt core.

More than a decade later, The Book of Mormon continues to run at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, maintaining its status as one of Broadway’s longest-running and most popular shows. Its enduring appeal lies in its sharp writing, memorable music, and ability to entertain audiences night after night.

Find Your Seat: Theater Sections Guide

Eugene O'Neill Theatre

The Eugene O’Neill Theatre, located on West 49th Street in Midtown Manhattan, is a historic Broadway venue that opened in 1925 as the Forrest Theatre before being renamed in 1959 in honor of playwright Eugene O’Neill. Designed by Herbert J. Krapp, it features a classic interior and seats just over 1,000 guests, creating a more intimate setting compared to larger Broadway houses. Over the years, it has hosted several notable productions and is now the long-running home of The Book of Mormon.

When choosing seats, the Center Orchestra—especially the middle rows—offers the best balance of proximity and overall view, placing you directly in front of the stage. The Front Mezzanine is another popular option, providing an elevated perspective that makes it easier to take in the full stage and choreography without obstruction.

For more budget-friendly options, the rear Orchestra and Mezzanine sections still offer good sightlines due to the theatre’s compact design. While seats toward the back may feel slightly farther from the stage, the venue’s layout and acoustics ensure a clear and enjoyable experience from most areas.
