Hello! It has been confirmed that Tony and Grammy Award-winning production, The Book of Mormon, will return to Australia in 2025.

After first premiering in 2011 on Broadway at the Eugene O’Neil Theatre (and still running there today) the musical first premiered in Melbourne in 2015, where it broke the record for the highest selling on-sale period of any production in Melbourne’s Princess Theatre’s 159-year history and also won the Helpmann Award for Best Musical.

It then went on to stints in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

However it has been announced that The Book of Mormon will now return to Sydney’s Capitol Theatre from July next year.

Created by South Park masterminds, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and Avenue Q co-creator Robert Lopez, The Book of Mormon stunned Broadway fans when it made its debut in 2011 and went on to win nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and the Grammy for Best Musical Theatre album.

The waitlist for tickets to the Sydney production is open now.

The news comes just months after it was announced that another Tony-award winning production, MJ The Musical – which centres around the making of the late pop star’s 1992 Dangerous world tour and looks back on his controversial childhood and life – will premiere at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre in February 2025.
