The 2011 Tony Award-winning musical, The Book of Mormon, recouped its Broadway capitalization during the week ending November 27, 2011.

Written by Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez, the production — which performs at Eugene O’Neill Theatre — is co-directed by Parker and Casey Nicholaw, who also serves as the production’s choreographer. The musical follows a pair of mismatched Mormon boys sent on a mission to a place that’s about as far from Salt Lake City as one can get.

The musical stars Josh Gad as Elder Cunningham, Andrew Rannells as Elder Price, Nikki M. James as Nabulungi, Rory O’Malley as Elder McKinley and Michael Potts as Mafala Hatimbi.

The cast also features Lewis Cleale, Brian Tyree Henry, Scott Barnhardt, Justin Bohon, Graham Bowen, Darlesia Cearcy, Kevin Duda, Jared Gertner, Asmeret Ghebremichael, Tyson Jennette, Clark Johnsen, Valisia LeKae, Douglas Lyons, John Eric Parker, Nic Rouleau, Benjamin Schrader, Michael James Scott, Brian Sears, Jason Michael Snow, Nick Spangler, Lawrence Stallings, Rema Webb, Maia Nkenge Wilson, and Tommar Wilson.
