Can you believe that “The Book of Mormon” musical is 10 years old?
It’s true. It has been a decade since Elder Price (Andrew Rannells) first took to the Broadway stage to joyously sing about getting his own planet as his nerdy companion, Elder Cunningham (Josh Gad), lovingly lied his way to convert after convert in the jungles of Uganda.
Since its March 24, 2011, premiere at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre after some preview performances the bawdy but beloved musical went on to earn nine Tony Awards and pack playhouses across the globe, including in the heart of Mormonism, Salt Lake City.
