The Book of Mormon has official dates. The new musical by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, with co-creator Robert Lopez (Avenue Q), will begin previews at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on February 24, 2011, and will open on March 24. Matt Stone will co-direct with Casey Nicholaw (Tony nominee, The Drowsy Chaperone), with Nicholaw acting as choreographer.
The new musical tells the story of two young Mormon missionaries sent to spread their gospel in a dangerous part of Uganda. Alongside their story, we hear the tale of Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Latter-day Saints.
