The Book Of Mormon at Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Theatre

Historically famous as one of the finest theatre venues in Scranton, Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Theatre At The Scranton Cultural Center has always been the coveted choice as a play or musical venue, especially due to its unsurpassed interior and exterior architecture that is both spacious and well-decorated. The Book of Mormon will be performing for a limited time in Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Theatre At The Scranton Cultural Center in December, on Saturday 20th December 2025.

Legendary duo Matt Stone & Trey Parker, alongside Robert Lopez have once again created another hilarious production but in an entirely new medium for them. This time being in on the Broadway stage. The Book of Mormon, centered on Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham, two missionaries of the Latter-day Saints (LDS) religion, are assigned to baptize and convert the local population of a village in Uganda. The musical, despite the risk of offending the church, delves away from a somber approach to telling this story, as it instead uses comedy and even blasphemy to reveal the truth behind the way religion is preached and religious stories are told.

Audiences globally and for the past decade since its Broadway premiere in 2011 have received The Book of Mormon positively. Despite being rude, foulmouthed, and often satirical, it also comes with a warm and serious tone beneath its language. Throughout its two acts, the musical perfectly also converts itself from a play full of cursing, adult themes, and profanity to one that forces the audience to be introspective – specifically how we, as viewers, treat religion and supernatural stories. In one of their reviews, The New York Times recognizes this and stated that “The central theme of The Book of Mormon is that many religious stories are silly – the idea that God would plant golden plates in upstate New York. Many religious doctrines are rigid and out of touch. But religion itself can do enormous good as long as people take religious teaching metaphorically and not literally; as long as people understand that all religions ultimately preach love.”
