Terrace Theater at Long Beach Convention Center
California, you’re in for the finest kind of surprise as The Book of Mormon, one of Broadway’s wittiest, cleverest, and most amusing shows is arriving and performing in Long Beach on Wednesday 5th February 2025 at the one and only Terrace Theater at Long Beach Convention Center! Take part in a musical showing that makes you laugh and love classical theatre, full of unrestrained and amusing twists.
Produced from the minds of the creators of the famous comedy TV series South Park and the musical Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon tells the story of two Latter-day Saints (LDS) missionaries, Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, as they try to convert local villagers in Uganda. In the same fashion to their previous creations, the musical takes the serious subject of religion and satirizes it through both writing and music.
As Ben Brantley of The New York Times describes, just like South Park, it is “also blasphemous, scurrilous and more foul-mouthed than David Mamet on a blue streak. But trust me when I tell you that its heart is as pure as that of a Rodgers and Hammerstein show”.
Make the most out of your chance to be part of the audience and get a seat to this awesome show, before they run out!

Applauded as one of the highest-earning musicals of all time, The Book of Mormon has been a fan favorite all over the world. In its several performances in the United States, London’s West End, and Australia among others, the musical has been met with an remarkable reception from viewers and sold-out shows.

The Book of Mormon is a play about faith and how we behave towards it, specifically Mormon missionaries named Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, as they are ordered to teach their religion’s faith and teachings to a small local village in Uganda. They figure out however, the locals are indifferent to their preaching, as they are dealing with their own personal problems. The pair then try different methods to convert the locals, with Cunnigham’s often involving adding fake stories to his teachings.
In more than ten years running, The Broadway hit has garnered several awards in both Broadway and West End, including nine Tony Awards out of fourteen total nominations, including for Best Musical (received right after its opening night in 2011), four Drama Desk Awards, and three Outer Circle Critics awards.

Then from the other side of the world, from the Australian tour in 2017, it also won two Helpmann Awards that also included for Best Musical.
