The Book Of Mormon The Musical Tickets

In spite of local villagers being concerned about AIDS, famine, and poverty, the two naive young men attempt to share their scripture with them.

The show first played on Broadway in March of 2011, after being in development for almost seven years. It has won several awards, among them nine Tony Awards and is highly acclaimed by critics. In May of 2011, it was recorded with a Broadway cast, and became the highest charting such album in four decades. It climbed to number four on the Billboard Charts.

Whether or not many agree with this, it has raised a lot of controversy. Some acclaim its accuracy, and others its inaccurate liberties. Some of the acclaimed errors include information about mission rules and assignments, among other things.
