The Book of Mormon at Adler Theatre

Over a dozen years ago, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone joined forces with acclaimed songwriting playwright Robert Lopez to conceive the most transgressive comedy Broadway has ever known. Now, it’s back. BIGGER. BETTER. And BAUDIER than ever! Embark on the Tony Award-winning bandwagon of The Book of Mormon as it barrels down North America with reckless abandon, hitting nearly 30 venues en route. On the 30th of March, the tour’s stop in Davenport will cap off two days of side-splitting performances LIVE at the Adler Theatre!

“The filthiest, most offensive, and–surprise–sweetest thing you’ll see this year, and quite possibly the funniest musical ever."

Meet the most hysterical Broadway duo of all time in this 2 ½-hour tale of cultural mishaps and shameless shenanigans! Stranded in Uganda, Africa, Mormon Elders Kevin Price and Arnold Cunnigham must set their wildly conflicting differences aside for the sake of their mission — converting stubbornly atheistic natives through the Good Word. As hard as that sounds, it’s only going to get a lot harder for our not-quite heroes as they fend off a vicious warlord and deal with language barriers in increasingly hilarious antics. Will Star Wars and Lord of the Rings trivia save the day? Probably not, but come see it anyway!
