See The Book of Mormon, no Broadway pilgrimmage required

The Book of Mormon has had its fair share of hype: it has collected a whack of Tonys and won accolades from countless critics. All we’ll say is that there’s more than enough reason to grab a ticket for the show’s new Toronto run. The musical tells the satirical story of two teenage Mormon missionaries (played by Gavin Creel and Christopher John O’Neill) who, after being posted in a small, disease-plagued Ugandan village, begin to question their faith. The show was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the minds behind South Park, and scored by Avenue Q composer Robert Lopez—so it’s not quite as heavy as it may sound in summary. Regular tickets are still available, though the discounted pre-show ticket lottery might be worth the wait (details here).

Until Nov. 30. $49–$200. Princess of Wales Theatre, 300 King St. W., 416-872-1212, mirvish.com.
