ON THE MARQUEE: HELLO! The Award winning smash hit musical comedy The Book of Mormon is set to return to the Great Bright Way this Fall. One of our friends was so kind enough to share with us THE MOST AMAZING updates to the front of house billboards outside the show’s home of Broadway’s Eugene O’Neill Theatre.
With The Book of Mormon returning, the production is expecting to feature various changes. Following last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests, the show itself received so much backlash with its portrayal of Africans (since about 85% of the musical takes place in Uganda). Work will be made to the show’s score and book by its creators (Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robert Lopez) to make it less offensive. These changes will go also to all future companies as well.
In addition, it returns without its main head producer Scott Rudin. Earlier this year, the producer had dropped from all his Broadway projects following recent reports of his horrific, arrogant, abusive, monstrous, ugly, and tyrannical behaviors towards people in the work place.
The Broadway company of THE BOOK OF MORMON will make audience BELIEVE that TOMORROW IS A LATTER DAY once again beginning November 5th, 2021. Other productions of the show set to reopen will also include its London company and UK/ Ireland Touring productions. More companies will be going out as well.
Who is excited?!!!
