The Book of Mormon

It won nine Tony Awards. The New York Times called it "The Best Musical of this Century" and "Heaven on Broadway!" And this month the traveling production of the Broadway smash musical comedy from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone arrives on the Saenger Theatre stage. Tracing the misadventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries sent halfway across the world to spread the good word, The Book of Mormon has played to standing-room-only audiences everywhere it's gone. 7:30 pm Tuesday–Thursday; 8 pm Friday; 2 pm & 8 pm Saturday; 1 pm & 6:30 pm Sunday. $30–$241. neworleans.broadway.com.

The production will also conduct a pre-show lottery at the box office, making a limited number of tickets available for $25. Entries will be accepted at the box office two and a half hours prior to each performance. Two hours before curtain, names will be drawn at random.
