The nine-time Tony Award-winning Best Musical The Book of Mormon on Broadway is celebrating its 15th anniversary with “Magical Mormon Mystery Week” at performances June 9-14 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre.

The news was announced on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert by the show’s authors Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez.

During that week’s performances, there will be surprise appearances by original cast members Tony Award nominees Josh Gad (Elder Cunningham) and Andrew Rannells (Elder Price), Tony Award winner Nikki M. James (Nabulungi), and Tony Award nominee Rory O’Malley (Elder McKinley), who will perform select scenes and songs at each performance alongside the current cast, with no show exactly the same.

Parker, Stone, and Lopez, as well as Broadway’s original Mormon and Ugandan ensembles and other guests from the Mormon family, will also show up at performances throughout the week.

Choreographed by Casey Nicholaw and co-directed by Nicholaw and Parker, The Book of Mormon is the longest-running show in the 100-year history of the Eugene O’Neill Theatre and the 10th-longest-running Broadway musical of all time.

The Grammy Award-winning original Broadway cast recording for The Book of Mormon will be reissued on June 26 as a 15th anniversary edition, available on 2LP crystal-clear vinyl, 2LP black vinyl, or CD.
