From South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q co-creator Robert Lopez, The Book of Mormon, winner of nine Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Grammy for Best Musical Theatre album, follows a pair of Mormon boys sent on a mission to a place that's a long way from Salt Lake City.

The musical, which received six Olivier Award nominations earlier this week, opened in the West End to rave reviews last year. Cast member Ashley Day won the West End Frame's Understudy of the Year Award last summer for understudying Elder Prince in the production.
