'The Book Of Mormon' Is Returning To Australia In 2025

The Tony, Olivier, and Grammy award-winning production, The Book Of Mormon, is gracing our shores once again to provide immaculate storytelling, gorgeous singing, and comedy sure to bring belly laughs. 

Opening in Sydney in July 2025, the production will be housed in Capitol Theatre.

Created by the minds behind South Park, the musical follows two Mormon missionaries as they try to preach to the inhabitants of a remote Ugandan village - and chaos ensues. 

The show has won numerous awards, including nine Tony awards, four Olivier Awards, and a Grammy for the Best Musical Theatre album. The accolades don’t stop there. During their 2015 premier season in Australia, they broke the record for the highest-selling on-sale period of any production in Melbourne’s Princess Theatre’s 159-year history.

The team is just as impressive. The Book Of Mormon is co-directed and choreographed by the Tony, Olivier, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award-winning Casey Nicholaw, set design is by three-time Tony Award winner Scott Pask, costume design is by two-time Tony Award winner Ann Roth, lighting design is by five-time Tony Award winner Brian MacDevitt, and sound design is by two-time Tony Award winner Brian Ronan.

Speaking with The Music ahead of The Book Of Mormon’s Perth run in 2019, star Nyk Bielak (Elder Cunningham) said: “It’s the show for people who don’t like musicals and it’s also a perfect musical at the same time... It’s a love letter to musical theatre, and also gives it the finger; it’s telling Broadway to go fuck itself, but you can tell that [Stone and Parker] love musicals.”

Auditions for the 2025 Australian run of The Book Of Mormon are open now, and you can find more information about it here.
