The Book of Mormon has broken house records at the Buell Theatre for the past four weeks. The show now holds the all-time record for the highest weekly gross (for an eight-show performance week) for the week ending Nov. 17, during which the show grossed $1,993,690.  

The Book of Mormon’s first national touring production launched at Denver’s Ellie Caulkins Opera House in August 2012, breaking house records there week after week. The show holds the all-time record at the Ellie for the highest weekly gross (for an eight-show performance week) for the week ending Sept. 2, 2012, during which the show grossed $1,443,977.

The musical sold more than 38,000 tickets on June 10, 2013, alone, another all-time record for the Denver Center.   

The Book of Mormon is the Tony-winning best musical that tells the story of two young Mormon missionaries sent to a remote village in northern Uganda, where a brutal warlord is threatening the local population. Naive and optimistic, the two missionaries try to share their scriptures – which only one of them knows very well – but have trouble connecting with the locals, who are more worried about war, famine, poverty and AIDS than about salvation.

This gleefully profane and witty religious satire lampoons organized religion and traditional musical theater. It was written by Colorado natives Trey Parker and Matt Stone (“South Park”) along with Robert Lopez (“Avenue Q”).The musical also won awards for best score, book,  direction (Casey Nicholaw, Trey Parker), featured actress (Nikki M. James), scenic design (Scott Pask), lighting design (Brian MacDevitt),  sound design (Brian Ronan) and orchestrations (Larry Hochman, Stephen Oremus).
