The Mormons are knocking on Melbourne's door again, and they're bringing the profanity.
The Book of Mormon returns to Princess Theatre from February 2026 for another season.

Created by Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robert Lopez, The Book of Mormon made its world premiere on Broadway in March 2011 before opening in London’s West End in February 2013.
