When The Book of Mormon arrives in Louisville as part of the PNC Broadway in Louisville season May 5-10, audiences can expect an evening of bold satire, dazzling musical theater, and laugh-out-loud comedy. Since its Broadway debut in 2011, the smash-hit musical has become one of the most celebrated shows of the modern Broadway era, entertaining more than 20 million people worldwide with its infectious score, outrageous humor, and surprising heart.
