Our favorite creators from South Park are bringing their signature, boundary-pushing humor to the University of Texas Performing Arts Center! From November 14th to the 19th, their uproarious musical comedy, The Book of Mormon, is set to make its debut at the Bass Concert Hall.

Crafted by the creative minds of Colorado’s illustrious duo, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, known for their iconic works on South Park and Team America: World Police, this narrative emerges as a genre-defining and side-splitting masterpiece. Moreover, it delves into the quest of two missionaries representing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Elder Kevin Price, a young man brimming with ambition, is determined to make a significant impact during his forthcoming two-year mission. His dreams of serving in New Orleans take an unexpected twist when he finds himself in a remote Ugandan village. There, he’s paired with Elder Arnold Cunningham, a character who is humorously inept and known for his compulsive lying, to Price’s utter dismay.

Regrettably, the villagers’ disinterest and skepticism pose a formidable challenge for the two youthful missionaries. The community is preoccupied with pressing concerns such as poverty, famine, HIV/AIDS, female genital mutilation, child abuse, and the oppressive rule of a local warlord. Watch these well-meaning but bumbling Mormon missionaries as they grapple with the daunting task of sharing the Good Word with a population that has long abandoned hope for divine intervention. Guided by the endearing Nabulungi, brace yourself for a two-and-a-half-hour rollercoaster of hilarious miscommunications, linguistic barriers, and cultural clashes, culminating in an unexpected comedy extravaganza!

Over the years, this musical sensation earned acclaim, winning five Drama Desk Awards, four Outer Critics Circle Awards, a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and an astounding nine awards at the 65th Tony Awards. Today, it stands as one of the most triumphant musicals in history, amassing an astonishing $700 million in revenue. With numerous productions across the United States and internationally, its prestigious laurels include the Laurence Olivier Award in the West End and the Helpmann Award in Melbourne.

“The filthiest, most offensive, and–surprise–sweetest thing you’ll see on Broadway this year, and quite possibly the funniest musical ever.” – Vogue

“Grade A: the funniest musical of all time.” – Entertainment Weekly
