The Book of Mormon Tickets

Since its debut in 2013, The Book of Mormon, created by South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone along with Robert Lopez (Frozen, Avenue Q), has been the most popular shows on the West End. Known for its sharp wit, outrageous humour, and heartfelt storytelling, The Book of Mormon has entertained audiences with its unique take on religion, culture, and friendship. Over the years, the show has featured a talented lineup of actors in its key roles, and its current cast is no exception.

Meet the Current Cast

Who plays Elder Price in The Book of Mormon?

Leading the show as the ambitious and overconfident Elder Price is Blair Gibson. Elder Price is a missionary who dreams of being sent to Orlando but finds himself in Uganda instead. Like his character, Gibson is no stranger to touring - having played Bob Gaudio in the UK & Ireland tour of Jersey Boys. The Book of Mormon marks Gibson’s West End debut, but with his strong vocals and comedic timing, we are sure it won’t be the last West End show he stars in. 

Who plays Elder Cunningham in The Book of Mormon?

Taking on the role of Elder Cunningham, the awkward yet lovable companion to Elder Price, is Conner Peirson. Peirson has played the role on multiple international tours, earning praise for his comedic brilliance and heartfelt performance. He also played another loveable loser, Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors. Elder Cunningham struggles with confidence and often exaggerates stories to make himself seem more interesting, a trait that Peirson delivers with charm and humour.

Who plays Nabulungi in The Book of Mormon?

Playing the role of Nabulungi, the hopeful and kind-hearted Ugandan local, is Paige Peddie.  Peddie’s stage credits include Ado Annie in the multi award-winning revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! Nala in Disney’s The Lion King and Lorrell Robinson in Dreamgirls. Peddie’s powerful vocals and emotional depth add sincerity to her portrayal of Nabulungi, who dreams of a better life and is initially captivated by the missionaries’ promises. Peddie’s moving performance and stage presence make her an audience favourite.

Who plays Elder McKinley in The Book of Mormon?

Colin Burnicle steps into the role of Elder McKinley, the enthusiastic yet deeply repressed missionary leader. Elder McKinley is known for his show-stopping number “Turn It Off,” which addresses his internal struggles in an increasingly manic way. Burnicle - a seasoned performer, whose previous shows include; The Play That Goes Wrong, Elf the Musical, Tammy Faye and The Sound of Music - perfectly captures the character’s mix of energy, charm, and inner turmoil, making his performance both hilarious and heartfelt.

Who plays Mafala Hatimbi in The Book of Mormon?

As Mafala Hatimbi, the protective father of Nabulungi, Ian Carlyle brings warmth and humour to the stage. Mafala serves as a guide to the missionaries, explaining life in Uganda while maintaining a skeptical view of their teachings. Carlyle’s strong stage CV (he’s starred in Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Disney’s The Lion King, and We Will Rock You to name just a few) and comedic skills make him a perfect fit for the role, and his rendition of “Hasa Diga Eebowai” is a show highlight.

The Book of Mormon is not for the faint-hearted. But for those with a wicked sense of humour, the shocking musical - currently playing at the Prince of Wales Theatre - has some of the most riotous jokes ever seen in the West End. But what about The Book Of Mormon musical songs? Discover more about the show and its musical numbers with our handy guide.

About The Book Of Mormon

From the creators of South Park (Matt Stone and Trey Parker) and Avenue Q (Robert Lopez) comes the cutting musical comedy about two Mormon missionaries who travel to Uganda hoping to recruit new members to the church. It opened on Broadway in 2011, winning nine Tony Awards before opening in the West End, where it won four Oliviers.

All of The Book Of Mormon songs in order

In total, there are 17 catchy numbers. With songs about Mormon practices, evil doughnuts, sexual orientation, war crimes, and atrocities, nothing's left off the table in the sardonic comedy. With songs sung by all the Book of Mormon characters, it’s a dense and hilarious experience. To help guide you through the extensive list of topics, here are The Book Of Mormon musical songs in detail.

The Book of Mormon Act One songs

Hello!

The opener and potentially the most well-known (and innocent) of The Book Of Mormon songs is 'Hello!'. The upbeat introduction features doorbells and multiple voices as the religious characters go door-to-door seeking converts. With clever yet simple layering, we experience our first tongue-in-cheek jokes while meeting one of our leads, Elder Cunningham.

Two by Two

Teaching the audience about Mormon practices and giving us an insight into the egotistic Elder Price, 'Two by Two' pair off the Mormon brothers as they’re assigned their missions. While others are sent to dream locations such as Japan and France, Elder Price wishes to visit Florida and is met with a reality check by the end of the song.

You and Me (But Mostly Me)

Accepting their mission, the duet between Elder Price and Elder Cunningham delves further into the personalities of the unlikely duo. With Elder Price confidently taking the lead, Elder Cunningham loyally vows to be a sidekick and stay out of the way.

Hasa Diga Eebowai

When the Elders finally land in Uganda, they’re met with the harsh realities of life. With mentions of AIDS, famine, and illegal practices, to name a few, the foreign pair are taught a blasphemous Ugandan phrase. The explicit song asks listeners and observers to reserve judgment as they've not had the same incredible hardships as the villagers.

Turn It Off

When the dynamic duo meet the other missionaries stationed in the village, Elder McKinley teaches them to suppress upsetting thoughts, ideas or feelings. 'Turn It Off' is one of the most eye-opening and glittering songs from The Book Of Mormon. With a glitzy tap-dance break, the seemingly light-hearted number feels silly compared with the experiences of the villagers, but with its existential questions, mentions of domestic abuse, and suppression, it’s not as trivial as you would wish it to be.

I Am Here for You

An emotional declaration of loyalty from Elder Cunningham comes in the form of a lullaby. While Elder Price remains focused on numbers and achievements, Elder Cunningham is hoping to be accepted.

All-American Prophet

Confident he can succeed where the other missionaries have failed, Elder Price sings 'All-American Prophet' - a brief history of Joseph Smith and the origins of The Book of Mormon. The tribute to the Mormon icon slowly descends into a celebration of the arrogant Kevin Price, who believes he will become the next All-American prophet.

Sal Tlay Ka Siti

One of the most heart-breaking Book of Mormon songs comes from the innocent, impressionable and optimistic Nabulungi - a young woman from the village. The power ballad laments about Nabulungi’s mother and the comforting stories she used to tell. After speaking to the missionaries, she lists all the simple things she will experience in the magical land of Salt Lake City.

Man Up

The first solo from Elder Cunningham is an inspirational and motivational pep talk to himself at the end of Act One. Abandoned by his partner, Arnold decides it’s time he steps up and leads the charge in attempting to recruit people to the church.

Don’t let the couples get you down this Valentine's Day. It didn’t bother Elle Woods, it didn’t bother Velma Kelly, and it shouldn’t bother you! In fact, we’re grateful not to be involved in the romantic side of Valentines, we managed to kill a cactus, so we don’t think a rose will fair long in our house, and as for the cuddly toys they bring out (we’ve seen sloths, turtles and a highland cow in the shops) they wouldn’t go with our décor (which is mainly theatre posters and programs, if we’re being honest). That’s not to say we’re against love, far from it! We are 100% here for our friends, our family and ourselves, which is why we’ve handpicked the very best shows that showcase a different kind of love. From mother-daughter relationships to friendship goals, we have something for everyone.  

January is almost over (at last) and as a special reward, we've got a pair of The Book of Mormon t-shirts to give away. "Two by Two" you can march door to door with your little buddy saying "Hello" with these fantastic Mormon tie t-shirts.
