Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Theatre At The Scranton Cultural Center - Masonic Temple
Pennsylvania, you’re in for the best kind of surprise as The Book of Mormon, one of Broadway’s wittiest, cleverest, and most comedic shows is arriving and performing in Scranton on Friday 19th December 2025 at the one and only Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Theatre At The Scranton Cultural Center! Take part in a musical viewing that makes you laugh and love classical musicals, full of unrestrained and comedic twists.
Produced from a collaboration of the creators of the famous comedy TV series South Park and the play Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon tells the story of two Mormon 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 NYC Times shares, 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”.
Don't miss your chance to be one of the lucky ones and get a seat to this awe-inspiring show, before they run out!

Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham are two missionaries of the Latter-day saints (LDS) sent on a mission to a native Ugandan village. Their mission is to convert the locals to their faith, but they find out upon their arrival that their job is more complex than they had assumed, given the abundance of local issues that the villagers face such as a local warlord, an HIV/AIDS epidemic, and poverty among others. The pair then come to accept that they must use more creative ways to convert the population than the orthodox method that they know.
It is in this duo's difficult journey where the performance of The Book of Mormon is outstanding – allowing a serious topic of religion to be blasphemed and made fun of with comedy, showtunes, and a bit of crude language, yet still remaining inoffensive to its audience. Since its premiere in 2011, the The Book of Mormon has been received positively despite its manner of conveying its message. The church itself supported the musical, purchasing ads and releasing marketing marketing material that stated: “You’ve seen the play, now read the book.” In its West End performances, the repeatedly sold-out shows were prime examples of The Book of Mormon’s success. Though most viewers were already expecting a shock given the content and theme of the play, according to The Guardian, it was even to their shock that “suddenly you realize you’re in for not just humour but a seriously fine night of entertainment, and it just keeps on getting better.” The musical’s run in Australia also loved by theatre fans, with the Sydney Morning Herald even reviewing that the Book of Mormon is a “dynamite production of a show that can lay fair claim to being the funniest Broadway musical of all time.”
What comes as no surprise however is that because of the musical's creativity, The Book of Mormon’s several productions globally have earned it nine Tony Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, three Outer Circle Critics awards, four Olivier Awards, and two Helpmann Awards.
