Pack your bags for Uganda! Tickets are now on sale for the national tour of The Book of Mormon in Pittsburgh. The Tony Award-winning musical will open on February 21 at the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts and run through February 26, 2017.
Written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q co-creator Robert Lopez, The Book of Mormon follows two young Mormon missionaries sent to Uganada, who soon discover their training did not quite prepare them for the world outside of Salt Lake City. The Broadway production opened in March 2011 and went on to win nine Tonys, including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Director. The original Broadway cast recording took home a Grammy Award in 2012 for Best Musical Theater Album.
The cast features Ryan Bondy as Elder Price, Cody Jamison Strand as Elder Cunningham, Candace Quarrels as Nabulungi, Daxton Bloomquist as Elder McKinley and Sterling Jarvis as Mafala Hatimbi.
The musical is directed by Parker and Casey Nicholaw, who also serves as choreographer. The Book of Mormon features set design by Scott Pask, costume design by Ann Roth, lighting design by Brian MacDevitt and sound design by Brian Ronan.
