Summer Theatre Sale

SSay hello to the Mormons and become an all-American prophet at this raucous comedy musical. *The Book of Mormon* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

While *The Book of Mormon* satirises the Christian denomination, it accurately shines a light on Mormon ideas and practices. It’s common for young men to serve a two year mission and spread their faith worldwide — just like Elder Price and Elder Cunningham. Song lyrics also reference the religion, like “Sal Tlay Ka Siti,” titled to emulate Salt Lake City, considered to be the American home of Mormonism.

*South Park* creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone teamed up with Robert Lopez to co-write *The Book of Mormon.* Development began in 2003 when Parker and Stone were noticed by Lopez in the audience of a performance of *Avenue Q*. They went for drinks and quickly conceived the idea of writing a musical based around Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Latter Day Saints. 

After winning nine Tony Awards on Broadway, *The Book of Mormon* opened in the West End at the Prince of Wales Theatre since 2013. It arrived in London to instant success, winning four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical. [Find out more about *The Book of Mormon* in London.](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-book-of-mormon-in-london)

### What is *The Book of Mormon* musical about?

Follows the journey of two missionaries who dream of serving in Orlando, only to be told they must serve in Uganda. While in Africa, they share their scriptures with the local community. The locals don’t care about what they have to say: AIDS, famine, and warlords pose a greater threat. Join Elder Price and Elder Cunningham as they spread the gospel and attempt to make every day a latter-day.

The Book of Mormon - LON - London Theatre

Summer Theatre Sale: book theatre tickets for The Book of Mormon in London's West End. Say hello to the Mormons and become an all-American prophet at this raucous comedy musical.

The Book of Mormon Tickets | London Theatre

Music, missionaries, and mischief combine in one of the best-loved comedy musicals of all time from the creators of South Park. Mormon missionaries find themselves in over their heads in Africa in a satirical but sweet story about finding who you really are. Check out tickets to *The Book of Mormon* at the Prince of Wales Theatre today.  

Did you know that all of the beliefs *The Book of Mormon* musical satirises are real? That’s right, as wild as the show is, it’s based on tenets of the actual holy text. For example, Joseph Smith really believed he translated the Mormon text from golden plates. While the show’s drawn attention for its religious satire, the musical’s message about faith and belief will capture your heart.

Get ready for hilarious songs throughout *The Book of Mormon* like “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream,” “Baptise Me,” and the whistlestop Mormon history song, “All-American Prophet,” and enjoy all of *The Book of Mormon* songs from the Grammy Award-winning score. Find out what makes the musical one of the West End’s biggest hits and longest-running shows today.

*The Book of Mormon* pulls together a cracking creative team. Alongside Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez who created *The Book of Mormon* musical, there’s excellent direction and choreography by Tony winner Casey Nicholaw (watch out for the tap dancing in “Turn It Off”), and set design by Scott Pask that’s of Biblical proportions.

## What to Watch For:

- When Matt Parker, Trey Stone, and Robert Lopez were writing the show, they spent time in Salt Lake City, Utah in order to capture authentic experiences. Over half of Salt Lake City inhabitants are Mormon.
- The *Frozen* and *The Book of Mormon* connections don’t just stop with Robert Lopez. Josh Gad, who originated the role of Elder Cunningham, went on to play the animated snowman, Olaf, in *Frozen*. 
- Even though *The Book of Mormon* is not directly affiliated with the religion, the Latter Day Saints church wanted to make their mark on the show. The church took out ads in *The Book of Mormon* programs, inviting audiences to read the original text once they’d seen the show. 
- There are popular culture references for Nabulungi’s name, and she’s called different things throughout the show. Listen for all the references as you watch the show; she’ll be referred to as a variety of people and objects beginning with ‘n’.

Note: Cast has changed since this reviewIf you follow proceedings in the entertainment arena, you may well know as much if not far more than I do about this much-anticipated show. '<a href="/show/the-book-of-mormon">The Book of Mormon</a>' has already been in residence on Broadway for the past two years, where it has been a huge success, and advance publicity for the show means there can't be many people in the UK who do not know about it already.Given the descriptive nature of the title, it is pretty clear that the show is about the religious group informally known as the Mormons, or more accurately the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The congregation of this church stretches across the globe thanks to missionary activities which form part of the required service of a male member of the church. So, many of us are accustomed to being hailed in the street or on our doorsteps by young men, mostly American, who are desperate to convert anyone and everyone to their faith.The show begins at a Mormon missionary training centre where a group of squeaky-clean young men in their late teens are preparing to head-off on their missions in various parts of the world. Elder Price (Gavin Creel) seems like the ideal young man to succeed in baptising more than any other missionary on his two-year endeavour. He is eagerly anticipating being sent to Orlando, Florida, which has been his dream-destination since childhood. Elder Price has pin-up good looks, and has all the attractive qualities to make him, well, popular. On the other hand another of the trainees is neither as charming or good-looking as Elder Price. Elder Cunningham (wonderfully played by Jared Gertner) is rather overweight for his diminutive stature, and with his spectacles and curly mop of hair, hardly meets the manicured image of the other missionaries who all seem to have inherited identical Mormon genetics. Elder Cunningham cannot remember the basic sales patter which the missionaries are trained to deliver, and moreover has issues with telling the truth. Since the missionaries are sent off on their work in pairs and must never leave each others' sides, you can see where this set-up is heading. Yes, the supremely confident and smooth-operating Price is twinned with the unreliable and gawky Cunningham. Disaster seems imminent as winner is teamed with loser, and is more or less assured when the ill-matched pair are sent, not to Orlando as Price yearned, but to Africa. The results are more or less predictable, though there are some surprises.<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" src="https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=http://open.spotify.com/track/4YfNmQKnrX5DrlAxSAnMoA" style="width: 330px; height: 80px;"></iframe>Given that this is a satire directed against a particular religious group - who are still very much alive and preaching - this show might have attracted a whole string of legal actions, or at least a heated public exchange between the production team and the Mormons. But apparently not from what I can gather. The Mormons seem to have taken the show in their stride - which implies they see no threat and have, in avoiding a public row, preserved their dignity. But I don't really think they have much to worry about anyway. Sure, the show pokes fun at them and their beliefs. In particular, the actual '<a href="/show/the-book-of-mormon">Book of Mormon</a>' is scoffed at because of the incredulous nature of its origins. However, we see Elders Price and Cunningham not just as Mormons, but as individual human beings who find themselves in an extraordinary situation. In a sense, we laugh with them almost as much, if not more, than laughing at them. The satirical nature of the show is certainly never vicious or unduly cruel, though I found the reference to everyone in Africa having AIDS just the wrong side of bad taste for my liking. But most of the audience laughed at that remark as well much else besides.On the evening I caught the show the cast were word-perfect, the action was flawless and the orchestra was in great form. There was an almost audible buzz from the audience almost as soon as they entered the theatre and they seemed ready and willing to laugh, and they did, and very frequently at that. There was an instant standing ovation at the end which in my experience is fairly rare even with long-running and much-loved shows. And when I say a standing ovation, I am referring to the entire audience and not a few ardent fans who have already seen the show. And speaking of fans, I noticed that a couple of people in the front stalls seemed to have already taken the show to their hearts as they were dressed in the missionary uniform of white shirt, black tie and trousers, as well as a name badge. If that does not signify a hit, I am not sure what does - unless, of course, they were Mormon missionaries.I had to fight my way through hoards of people trying to buy last-minute tickets and there were a few dubious characters outside the theatre trying to buy-up any spares. So, whatever I or any other critic might say about this musical, it seems like it will be hard to dislodge it for some considerable time. In fact, the show is very funny - not the funniest I have seen in the past few years, but certainly one of them and very near the top of the 'funniest' list. It is cleverly written and extremely well-produced, and the excellent, energetic performances give the impression that the cast are loving every minute of it. It is enormously enjoyable, and the laughs keep coming even when the story-line seems about to run out of steam. Like the contents of the <a href="/show/the-book-of-mormon">Book of Mormon</a> itself, this show could well end-up being the stuff of legend.Note: This Review is from a preview performance.<a href="/show/the-book-of-mormon">Book of Mormon Tickets</a> are now on sale."While acknowledging that it is often damnably clever and sharp, I find it hard to warm to the show...The Book of Mormon strikes me as a decadent and self-indulgent musical, and its mixture of satire and syrup ultimately proves repellent." Charles Spencer for Daily Telegraph"I absolutely loved it...songs, though not especially memorable, have bounce and bite and colour." Paul Taylor for The Independent"I'm not sure its crude yet clever package is roll-in-the-aisles funny but it's deliciously entertaining and there is certainly nothing like it in the West End." Julie Carpenter for The Daily Express"Its satire is insistently US college-campus adolescent. I tired of it after ten minutes...This is a cowardly, coarse, cynical show, worth avoiding. Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail" Indecently funny...The music...is generally jaunty and from time to time soars operatically, though only three or four of the tunes are really memorable. Henry Hitchings for Evening Standard"A mildly amusing musical, with some knowingly parodic songs, that takes a few pot shots at religious credulity without ever questioning the need for belief. I had a perfectly pleasant time, but the idea that the show, which won nine Tony awards, is either daringly offensive or a Broadway breakthrough is pure codswallop...For all its rude words, this is essentially a safe, conservative show for middle America." Michael Billington for The Guardian

The Book of Mormon London Review

The Book of Mormon - 1200 - LT 

*The Book of Mormon* comes from South Park creators__ Trey Parker__ and __Matt Stone__, and *Avenue Q* co-creator __Robert Lopez__. *The Book of Mormon*, winner of nine Tony Awards® and four Olivier Awards, including Best Musical for both, follows a pair of Mormon boys sent on a mission to a place that’s about as far away a from Salt Lake City as you can get. 

The Prince of Wales Theatre opened on 27 Oct. 1937. The theatre was named for the current Prince at the time, the future Edward VII.

In the 1930s, the theatre hosted risqué Follies-style revues. Whilst controversial, the shows proved to be a huge success and the profits made funded the demolition of the theatre and the construction of the new building.

In 1941 the theatre played host to the UK premiere of *The Great Dictator*, Charlie Chaplin’s film that had been banned across most of Europe.

The Beatles also performed at the theatre in 1963 at the Royal Variety Performance for the Queen Mother. Barbra Streisand made her West End debut here in *Funny Girl* in 1966. *The Book of Mormon* opened in London in 2013, and it's played at the West End theatre ever since.

## Prince of Wales Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has two levels - Stalls and Dress Circle.

The seating is very comfortable and offer good views of the stage due to a noticeable rake in the seating and offset seating, meaning no seat is placed directly behind another.

The Dress Circle offers excellent views of the stage due to the steep rake in the seating. 

## Where is *The Book of Mormon* in London?

*The Book of Mormon* is at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London. The Prince of Wales Theatre is located close to Leicester Square. It's near West End theatres including the Criterion Theatre and Theatre Royal Haymarket.

Sit down, or stand, at a striking immersive musical taking over the Bridge Theatre. *Guys and Dolls* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

[___This is for *Guys and Dolls* standing and stage tickets. Book *Guys and Dolls* seated tickets here.___](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/25504-guys-and-dolls-tickets)

London loves *Guys & Dolls*. The musical first came to the West End in 1953, with Queen Elizabeth II even enjoying the show. This stylish version combines Golden Age Hollywood glamour with a 21st-century reinvention. With standing tickets, you’ll be swept to Manhattan and Havana all in one night. 

London Theatre couldn’t stop shouting about the show, saying: “ “You’ve simply gotta gamble”. And when it pays off, as [director Nicholas] Hytner proves, the rewards are boundless.”

When Manhattan gambler Nathan Detroit needs to find a new location for his crap shooting games, he calls upon Sky Masterson. The pair settle on a bet: Nathan bets Sky that he can’t take a woman of his choosing on a date. Everything changes when they meet Salvation Army sergeant Sarah Brown.

## What to Watch For: 

- *Guys & Dolls* at the Bridge Theatre will be an immersive production. Choose to sit in the tiered seating, or book a standing ticket in the pit. 
- Damon Runyon’s two short stories, “Blood Pressure,” and “The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown” inspired the musical’s creators, Jo Swerling, Abe Burrows, and Frank Loesser.
- *Guys & Dolls* won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, but they didn’t receive the award as Abe Burrows was suspected to support Communists. When *Guys & Dolls* premiered, the House of Un-American Activities Committee investigated disloyalty in American society. 
- Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando played Nathan Detroit and Sky Masterson in the 1955 film.

Would luck be a lady for Nicholas Hytner? His much-hyped, immersive production of *[Guys & Dolls](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/25504-guys-and-dolls-tickets)* is set to run for six months at the [Bridge Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/the-bridge-theatre) — a significant gamble. Well, I’m delighted to report that he’s hit the jackpot with this jubilant revival, which somehow manages to be both the most exhilarating version of Frank Loesser’s musical I’ve seen, and also the most nuanced. 

That combination is thanks to an ingenious staging, building on the Bridge’s previous immersive Shakespeare productions. The audience is in the round, partly seated. The standing audience, gathered in the centre, gets thrillingly close to the action, with hydraulic platforms shooting out of the floor all over the place and neon signs descending from the ceiling.

Bunny Christie’s design basically dances more than the cast. It creates boundless staging opportunities for Hytner: whether it’s a central platform for a big Hot Box number, or a large zigzagging path across the auditorium, or several separate mini-stages acting as different locations. It matches the energy of this heightened, Damon Runyon-styled New York City, and allows for lightning-fast scene changes (occasionally the set-up for the next scene cuts into the current one, as ushers nudge the promenading audience around, but that can hopefully be ironed out over the run). 

It creates a dynamic audience experience, far removed from the previous rather tired West End outing for *Guys & Dolls*. There’s pre-show fun (you can get a rakish hat or a pretzel from a street seller), and immersive elements during the show itself: you might be handed a Save-a-Soul Mission leaflet, or a streamer to wave, or have your drink nicked by a cheeky gambler. It all climaxes with a euphoric dance party, with cast members sticking around to boogie and take selfies with fans. It’s an inspired way to make theatre feel relevant and accessible.

But, as with the similarly thoughtful revivals of *Cabaret* and *Oklahoma!*, this isn’t just audience pandering. Thanks to the intimacy and nimbleness of this set-up, Hytner can also mine the show for psychological detail. 

*Guys & Dolls* is that rare show in which the book is the equal of the score, and this production so joyfully lands all of Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling’s zingers and larger-than-life, deliciously named characters, while also giving them dimensionality.

Crucially, it addresses the inherent misogyny. [Marisha Wallace](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/stars-on-stage/marisha-wallace)’s Adelaide is no ditzy, marriage-obsessed dupe, who eventually guilts reluctant long-time fiancé Nathan into settling down with her. Instead, this is a couple desperately, carnally in love with each other, however, it’s Nathan who has the mental block. Daniel Mays (mostly known for his screen work, but making a phenomenal musical theatre debut) emphasises how Nathan relishes his status as the ultimate fixer, always staying one step ahead of the law. What happens if he stops running? 

The pair of them bring impressive comic chops but also an inherent sadness to their big rows, especially the wonderfully absurd sequence in which Adelaide admits she’s invented a brood of children for her concerned mother (Mays’s pique that Nathan is just an assistant manager in this fiction is priceless). 

Duet “Sue Me” — often a throwaway gag — is a masterclass in acting through song, supported by the blocking: they grow more physically distanced with each bitter exchange, while still achingly emotionally attached.

Wallace also avoids the easy humorous route with “Adelaide’s Lament,” dropping the exaggerated pronunciations in favour of framing the number as a gentle confession, aimed at the audience right beside her — one friend speaking to another. But she’s just as capable of amping up her performance in the steamy Hot Box stripteases (no coyness here), in which she owns her power and sexuality. 

In contrast to these warring veterans of love are the newly met, opposites-attract pair: Celinde Schoenmaker’s robustly dedicated missionary Sarah and Andrew Richardson’s charmingly insincere gambler Sky. Again, this is framed as an equal journey, not just as a woman who needs to lighten up. 

If anything, the exquisitely clarion-voiced Schoenmaker is the driving force: in “If I Were a Bell” she seems as drunk on life as on rum, tearing open Sky’s shirt and, following some Gene Kelly lamppost swinging, falling into his arms and swimming through the air. When they meet in song, their harmonies intertwine like a warm embrace. 

The boyish Richardson, a smouldering, Clive Owen-esque presence, actually feels like the lost one of the pair. This mainly works nicely, although both performance and vocals need more projection. There’s also one bewildering misstep: the introduction of a stereotypical gay club in Havana. It gets around the tired trope of a feisty Latina starting a catfight, and a bisexual Sky is a fascinating idea, but it’s never actually developed.

I also would have liked more explosive choreography here (the Cuban sequence begins with dancers scattered in the crowd — less impactful at a distance), but Arlene Phillips and James Cousins’s grounded, organic movement is otherwise invigorating, and the visible band gives us a glorious version of Loesser’s peerless score. Plus there are numerous scene-stealing supporting turns: Cedric Neal’s Nicely-Nicely, lending gospel fervour to “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat”; Mark Oxtoby’s fast-talking Benny; the perfect sight gag of Cameron Johnson’s giant Big Jule.

Most joyfully, the happy ending feels earned. Wallace and Schoenmaker’s “Marry the Man Today” isn’t an expression of dubious making-do, but a dawning realisation — by two shrewd women knocking back shots together; fabulous — that there’s nothing certain about life or love: “You’ve simply gotta gamble”. And when it pays off, as Hytner proves, the rewards are boundless.

Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr spearhead the Bridge Theatre. Having worked together at the [National Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/national-theatre) for over a decade as artistic and executive directors, Hytner and Starr formed the London Theatre Company as part of their efforts to open the largest Off-West End commercial theatre. The 900-seater auditorium is very adaptable and allows shows to be presented in end-on, thrust and promenade formats. 

Production aside, the theatre was praised for its abundance of ladies toilets and its on-site kitchen which, among other things, provides treats freshly baked on site during the interval. 

In 2017, the theatre's inaugural season included a new Richard Bean play *Young Marx*, starring [Rory Kinnear](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/rory-kinnear) and Oliver Chris, *Julius Caesar* starring Ben [Whishaw](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/ben-whishaw) and David Calder, and a new play by Nina Raine about the life of JS Bach starring [Simon Russell Beale](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/simon-russell-beale).

Notable plays at the Bridge Theatre include *The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,* as well as *My Name is Lucy Barton* and *Straight Line Crazy* — the latter two both transferring to New York.
