Nine Tony Awards and Counting: The Book of Mormon Comes to Clowes Memorial Hall

When The Book of Mormon opened on Broadway in March 2011, it did something rare: it won over both critics and audiences simultaneously. The show swept the Tony Awards that year, claiming nine statuettes including Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score. It's since become the standard-bearer for a certain kind of Broadway show — one that goes to places you wouldn't expect and makes you laugh harder than you thought possible, before sneaking in something genuinely moving at the end.

The creative team is one of the most unlikely in Broadway history. Trey Parker and Matt Stone — the duo behind South Park — teamed up with Robert Lopez, who had previously co-created the puppetry musical Avenue Q and would later go on to write "Let It Go" for Disney's Frozen. The combination of South Park's fearless irreverence and Lopez's genuine musical theater craft produced something that felt genuinely new: a show that could poke fun at religion, idealism, and American naivety while remaining deeply affectionate toward its characters. Elder Price and Elder Cunningham — the two missionaries at the story's center — are played with heart, not mockery.

Clowes Memorial Hall on the Butler University campus is one of Indianapolis's premier performing arts venues, with a seating capacity of around 2,200 and excellent sightlines from every section. The hall has hosted touring Broadway productions for decades and is well-suited to the scale of Book of Mormon — big enough for the production's full design but intimate enough that no seat feels disconnected from the stage. The May 11–16, 2027 engagement features eight performances: evening shows Tuesday through Saturday and matinees on Saturday and Sunday.

The touring production maintains the full Broadway design, including the original scenic design, costumes, and choreography by Casey Nicholaw (who also co-directed with Parker). The cast of touring performers brings fresh energy to roles that have launched careers — Elder Price and Elder Cunningham in particular have become career-making parts for young musical theater actors.
