"Beloved Broadway Hit "The Book of Mormon" Forced to Close Temporarily Due to Theater Repairs. The irreverent and hilarious musical, a collaboration between Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park fame and Robert Lopez, has been a staple on Broadway since its debut in 2011. The show's abrupt closure is a result of a fire that damaged the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, where "The Book of Mormon" has been performing, prompting an urgent need for repairs. Audiences are being told to hold on to their tickets, as the show is expected to resume performances on May 18, after the necessary renovations are completed."
The long-running Broadway hit “The Book of Mormon” will close its doors through May 17 as its theater undergoes repairs after a fire shut down the musical.
