Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 19:32 · Archive
The Tony Award-winning musical The Book Of Mormon returns to Crown Theatre Perth, running until December 6.
The Australian production of Tony Award-winning musical The Book Of Mormon has returned to Crown Theatre Perth after first appearing there in 2019. The show, co-written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone with Robert Lopez, follows two mismatched Mormon missionaries sent on a two-year mission to a location far removed from Salt Lake City.
The current cast is led by Sean Johnston as Elder Price and Nick Cox as Elder Cunningham. The musical premiered on Broadway in 2011. Nick Cox said the show represents 'the perfect satire, written by the kings of satire' and praised its balance of crude comedy with heart. He described it as 'a show with training wheels for people who haven't seen a musical before'.
Sean Johnston, based in Melbourne, said he and the cast were excited about the Perth season and exploring the city. He noted that 'the musical is so well written. There's no dead air in the show, and it's really one hit after another.' The show runs at Crown Theatre Perth until 6 December.
