Frequently Asked Questions
What is the plot of The Book of Mormon?
The show follows two eager Mormon missionaries, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, sent to a remote Ugandan village. They face cultural differences, illness, poverty, and skepticism. Cunningham’s imaginative retelling of scripture helps them connect with villagers. It’s a sharp satire with genuine heart, exploring themes of faith, friendship, doubt, and belonging.
Has the show won any awards?
Absolutely—it’s a nine‑time Tony Award winner, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Direction. It also won the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album and has received Olivier Awards internationally. It’s regarded as one of the most decorated modern musicals.
When and where is the New Orleans performance?
The national tour arrives at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans from May 12 to May 17, 2026. Expect evening shows most nights and at least one matinee over the weekend. Doors typically open about an hour before curtain.
How long is the show and is there an intermission?
The runtime is about two hours and thirty minutes with a single intermission. This gives you time for a stretch, restroom break, or lobby refreshment before the second act.
What age group is the show suitable for?
This show is recommended for mature audiences—typically those aged 18 and up. It contains strong language, adult themes, and pointed religious satire, so it’s not ideal for younger children.
How much do tickets cost?
Face‑value tickets vary by seating section. Early resale listings start around $121, but prices may increase closer to performance dates. Premium seats can go higher depending on demand and location.
How can I get cheap tickets?
To save money, opt for balcony or side mezzanine seats—they’re often the most affordable. Sign up early for venue alerts and presale access. Watch reputable resale platforms for last‑minute deals under face value. On show days, the box office may offer rush or lottery tickets at steep discounts.
Are group discounts available?
Yes—groups of 10 or more typically qualify for discounted rates. Contact the Saenger Theatre’s group sales early to reserve adjacent seats and secure the best pricing.
Is buying resale tickets safe?
It is if you use reputable resale platforms that guarantee ticket authenticity. Avoid street vendors or suspiciously low deals—they often lead to invalid or fraudulent tickets.
Is parking available at the venue?
Yes—Saenger Theatre is located downtown with nearby parking garages and street parking options. Arrive early to find a convenient spot and avoid showtime stress.
What should I wear?
The dress code is smart casual. Think slacks with a nice shirt or a simple dress. The theater can be cool inside, so bring a light sweater or jacket for comfort.
Can I take photos or videos during the performance?
No—photography, video, and audio recording are strictly prohibited once the show begins. You’re welcome to take photos in the lobby or outside before or after the performance.
