Elder Cunningham improvises scriptures to inspire the villagers. Their journey is silly, touching, and surprisingly sweet. It’s a vibrant satire on faith, doubt, friendship, and identity.
Has the show won any awards?
Yes—it’s a nine‑time Tony Award winner, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Direction. It also claimed a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. Critics worldwide hail it as one of the funniest and most acclaimed musicals of its era.
When and where is the Akron, OH performance?
The national tour stops at E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall at the University of Akron on September 30 and October 1, 2025. Both performances begin at 7:30 pm, with doors opening around 6:30 pm.
How long is the show and is there an intermission?
The show runs about two and a half hours, including a 15‑ to 20‑minute intermission. It’s fast‑moving and full of energy, with just enough break time to grab a refreshment and chat.
What age group is the show suitable for?
This is a mature show—best for teens and adults. It contains strong language, adult themes, and religious satire. Most venues recommend it for ages 17 and up.
How much do tickets cost?
Face‑value tickets start around $86 but often sell higher. Resale prices may range $90–$140 depending on seating and demand. Prices fluctuate, so timing matters.
How can I get cheap tickets?
To save, choose upper balcony or rear mezzanine seats—they’re usually the most affordable. Watch for public onsale and sign up for venue alerts. Check reputable resale sites like AXS Marketplace or Ticketmaster; last‑minute deals sometimes come in under face value. You can also ask the box office about day‑of-show rush or lottery tickets.
Are there group or student discounts?
Yes—groups of 10 or more can get discounts. Contact the venue’s group sales team early to reserve seats together and access special pricing. Some theaters also offer student or youth rush tickets, so ask on show day.
Are there risks buying resale tickets?
There can be—but using trusted resale platforms with authenticity guarantees keeps you safe. Avoid street sales or ultra‑cheap offers. If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Is parking available at E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall?
Yes—free parking is often included with season series tickets. There are also nearby paid lots and street parking. Arrive early to grab a good spot and avoid last‑minute rush.
What should I wear?
The dress is smart‑casual. Think slacks and a button‑up or a nice dress. The hall can be cool inside, so bring a light sweater or wrap just in case.
Can I take photos or record during the show?
No. Cameras, video, and audio recording are prohibited during the performance. Feel free to take photos before or after the show in the lobby or outside.
