‘The Book of Mormon’ Coming to Portland, Maine, for Three Shows This Fall

One of the most successful Broadway shows in the last 20 years is once again hitting the road to spread its unique message: that you should laugh until you cry.

The Book of Mormon, the Tony Award-winning musical written by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, is embarking on a U.S. tour which will include three shows in Portland, Maine, at the Cross Insurance Arena. The nine-month-long tour will go everywhere from opera houses to arenas.

If you're unfamiliar with The Book of Mormon, it's a twisted tale involving very serious subject matter but delivered with the kind of humor, sarcasm ,and wit that you'd expect from the creators of South Park.

The story follows two missionaries attempting to spread the gospel, who end up encountering every strange and bizarre obstacle you can imagine along the way. Many of the characters met along the way are crude, rude, and hilariously over-the-top.

The Book of Mormon was an instant hit on Broadway, grossing nearly $1 billion in ticket sales to date. The show is currently the 12th longest-running show on Broadway. This forthcoming nationwide tour plans to spread their message even further.

The Book of Mormon is planning three shows in Portland, Maine, for 2024. The first will be Friday, September 27, at 7pm. There will be two shows on Saturday, September 28, a matinee at 2pm, and an evening show at 8pm. Please be advised that much of the show includes adult language not suitable for all audiences.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 28, at 10am.
