The Book Of Mormon at Buell Theatre

Familiar to locals as one of the finest theatre venues in Denver, The Buell Theatre has always been the coveted choice as a play or musical venue, especially due to its astounding interior and exterior architecture that is both functional and visually appealing. The musical comedy will be performing for a limited season in The Buell Theatre in May, on Thursday 8th May 2025.

Robert Lopez, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone, once again created another smash hit but in an entirely new medium for them, this time being in in the musical genre. The Book of Mormon, centered on Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, two missionaries of the Latter-day Saints (LDS) religion, begin on their journey to baptize and convert the local population of a village in Uganda. The play, though dealing with religious context, delves away from a serious approach to telling this story, as it instead uses comedy and even blasphemy to reveal the truth behind the way religion is passed on and religious stories are told.

Fans and critics all over the world and for over a decade since its Broadway premiere in 2011 have generally welcomed The Book of Mormon positively. Despite being somewhat against orthodox teaching, and often satirical, it also comes with a warm and serious tone beneath its language. Throughout its two acts, the musical perfectly transforms from a play full of cursing, adult themes, and profanity to one that challenges and provokes thought. The New York Times highlights this and stated that “The central theme of The Book of Mormon is that many religious stories are silly – the idea that God would plant golden plates in upstate New York. Many religious doctrines are rigid and out of touch. But religion itself can do enormous good as long as people take religious teaching metaphorically and not literally; as long as people understand that all religions ultimately preach love.”
