The Buell Theatre
Known as Denver's most spacious and world-class musical theatres, The Buell Theatre is proud to host the Book of Mormon on May at Tuesday 6th May 2025. Known for its world-class staging, interior design, and acoustics, The Buell Theatre is already praised by both locals and tourists in Denver as its ultimate musical venue.
The musical runs at 2 hours and 30 minutes, the Book of Mormon was a new and fresh addition to Broadway theatres when it premiered over 10 years ago, back in 2011 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The imaginative take on the Book of Mormon was a record-breaker. Within just 9 months of its debut it broke the weekly box office record 22 times!! By mid-2022, it had already taken home more than $1 Billion Dollars worldwide. Over the past decade, the musical accumulated awards worldwide as well, ranging from Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Olivier Awards, Drama Desk Awards and Helpmann awards among other citations.
The Book of Mormon mixes the key ideas of religion, culture shock, and classic theatre into its comedic musical. Its narrative features two very different Latter-day saints (LDS) missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, its main characters, as they perform their two-year mission to convert the local population of a small African village in Uganda to Mormonism. It turns out to be more difficult than expected however, as they find out that the village faces more urgent affairs such as poverty, famine, an HIV/AIDS epidemic, and even oppression from a local warlord. Thinking outside the box, it is Cunningham who is able to successfully preach to the villagers with assistance from the village leader’s daughter, Nabulungi, and an original approach . Though not as knowledgeable on the Mormon doctrine as his fellow Mormons, he creates relatable stories that are a mix of fact and fiction, drawing information from science fiction and fantasy works such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings that convince the villagers more to convert. The two techniques of Price and Cunningham clash, orthodox and unorthodox. Comedy ensues as they both try to strategize the best way to achieve the mission they set out for in the first place.
