The Book of Mormon Tickets in London at the Prince of Wales Theatre
The Book of Mormon comes from the creators of South Park, and it has been packing out the Prince of Wales Theatre since 2013. Two hopeless missionaries, one very unprepared village, and 2 hours 20 minutes of the rudest comedy in the West End. It's booking to 23 January 2027, and the best seats for it are in the central Stalls. Below you'll find where to sit, what tickets cost, the current cast and how to get there.

Who's The Book of Mormon For?
Anyone who wants to laugh until it hurts. This is the West End's biggest comedy musical, and it's written by the creators of South Park and Avenue Q, so fans of either will know the sense of humour before the curtain goes up.
It's a great pick for groups and nights out where nobody wants anything worthy: choose this and you're the hero. The only thing you have to check is that none of the group will mind being offended!
Musical theatre fans get more than they might expect. Under the rude jokes sit some of the best-crafted Broadway-style numbers of the last twenty years, with the choreography and polish of any serious musical in town.
It isn't one for young children, or for anyone who struggles with strong language. The FAQs below cover age in more detail.
About The Book of Mormon at the Prince of Wales Theatre
The Book of Mormon opened with great fanfare at the Prince of Wales Theatre on 21 March 2013, after winning nine Tony Awards on Broadway including Best Musical, and it has played to packed London audiences ever since. It added four Olivier Awards in 2014, including Best New Musical, and in January 2026 it became the 12th longest-running musical in West End history, overtaking We Will Rock You.
It is written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, with Robert Lopez, the co-creator of Avenue Q who went on to write the songs for Frozen. With this pedigree you know exactly what to expect: filthy, fast and razor-sharp, but built on proper show tunes and with full Broadway polish. The songs people know it for include Hello!, I Believe, Turn It Off and Hasa Diga Eebowai.
What's The Book of Mormon About?
Elder Price is the golden boy of his missionary class, certain he is destined for somewhere wonderful, ideally Orlando. Instead he is paired with Elder Cunningham, the class misfit and a compulsive teller of tall tales, and the two are sent to a remote village in Uganda to win converts.
Nothing they trained for survives contact with the village. Faced with problems a pamphlet cannot fix, Price's certainty starts to crack, while Cunningham discovers that making things up might be his greatest gift. It is a story about friendship and what belief is actually for, told through big song-and-dance numbers and jokes that go after absolutely everybody.

Best Seats for The Book of Mormon
The Prince of Wales is wide rather than deep, with just two levels, the Stalls and the Circle, so most seats face the stage straight on. For The Book of Mormon we'd book the Stalls first, in the centre and a little way back from the stage. The front of the Circle is still good, but the Circle is set back and feels quite high, and the back of it is where the cheaper seats are.
Whilst not restricted, the far ends of the rows in both the Stalls and the Circle are slightly more side-on. It's a very wide theatre, so these would be almost like watching a show from a Box in a standard theatre. The Tickets & Best Seats tab has the value picks and prices, or call us on 020 7193 9050 for a steer on your budget.
Cast and Creative Team
Declan Egan plays Elder Price and Conner Peirson plays Elder Cunningham, in the company that arrived on 2 February 2026. Peirson knows the part well: he was Cunningham in London in 2023 and on the UK and international tours before that. Alongside them are Regan-Bailey Walker as Nabulungi, Tom Bales as Elder McKinley and Kirk Patterson as Mafala Hatimbi.
Casey Nicholaw directs with Trey Parker and also choreographs. The full company and creative team are in the Cast & Creatives tab.

FAQs
From around £25 if you book a long way ahead. Prices move with demand, so the further ahead you book, the less you generally pay, and the cheapest seats rise to around £40 as the date gets close. Whatever the price on the seating map, that's exactly what you pay with us.
2 hours 20 minutes, including one 15-minute interval. Evening shows start at 7:30pm and finish around 9:50pm; the 2:30pm matinees finish around 4:50pm.
Straight answer: no it's not appropriate! The official guidance is a parental advisory for explicit language, and it means it: the swearing is constant and creative. The producers recommend it for ages 14 and over. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult seated next to them, and children under 3 are not admitted.
The production also uses strobe lighting, flashing lights and gunshots, so check those separately from the language if any of them are a problem for you or anyone you're bringing.
It goes after everything: religion, poverty, Broadway itself. Most people spend the evening laughing; some find it too much. If strong language and dark jokes are not your night out, pick a different show and enjoy it more.
No. It is a comedy that uses religion as its vehicle, not a religious event. You need no knowledge of the real Book of Mormon to follow a minute of it.
Yes. Trey Parker and Matt Stone wrote it with Robert Lopez, co-creator of Avenue Q and later the songwriter of Frozen. It won nine Tony Awards on Broadway in 2011, then four Oliviers in London in 2014.
The church took it in surprisingly good humour, at one point even buying adverts in the show's programmes. The show teases belief, but it is warmer about believers than you might expect.
Yes, one interval of around 15 minutes, roughly an hour in.
No. There is no film or official recording; the only way to see it is live. In London that means the Prince of Wales Theatre, and tickets on this page.
Same show, different company. The Book of Mormon has toured the UK with its own cast, separately from London. This page is for the original London production, which has played the Prince of Wales since 2013.
There's no dress code: jeans are fine. This is the least formal big night out in the West End, and the audience arrives ready to laugh, not to parade.
Yes. There's a captioned performance at 2:30pm on Saturday 7 November 2026, and at every performance the GalaPro app gives captions and audio description on your own phone. The theatre lists no signed or relaxed performances. Access bookings are handled by the venue's own access team, not by us, through the theatre's official site.
Yes, and this is one of the West End's favourite group nights out, as long as the group knows what it is getting into. Call us on 020 7193 9050 and we will find seats together at the best all-in price.
Tickets and Best Seats for The Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon is a visual comedy as much as a musical: reactions, choreography and sight gags carry a lot of the laughs, so a clear central view is worth paying for. At this theatre we'd recommend the Stalls first.
The central Stalls, around rows D to K, are the classic and best pick. You're close enough to catch every raised eyebrow, and far enough back to take in the full company in the big song and dance numbers. If you're booking the side blocks, look for row J. Row H only runs across the centre block, with a walkway either side, so the side seats in row J have nobody sitting directly in front of them.
The rear Stalls are decent value for this show, precisely because nothing important happens up high. The Circle overhangs from around row M, and from there back you lose the very top of the arch around the stage, which here means missing the angel on top of it when it lights up. The view is perfectly fine otherwise. You only miss a tiny bit with the overhang, so it's a great value seat back there. It's definitely worth it.
The front rows of the Circle are still good seats, and they give you the whole stage picture for the big ensemble routines. The Circle is set back, though, so it feels further from the stage and quite high up, and its back rows are much like an Upper Circle in most theatres. That's where the cheaper seats sit.
Think twice about the extreme sides on both levels. On a theatre this wide they're side-on and can clip the corners of the staging, and with this much visual comedy you want the whole frame. The four Loge Boxes at Circle level are sold as restricted view and are very side-on, so we don't recommend them for this show.
Tickets start from around £25 if you book well ahead, and the cheapest seats rise to around £40 nearer the date. Prime seats run from around £80 to £100, and premium seats start from around £125. The rule for this show is simple: book earlier, pay less. With us the price you see is the price you pay, all fees included. Not sure which level suits your night? Call us on 020 7193 9050 and a real person will match seats to your group and your budget.

Getting to the Prince of Wales Theatre
The Prince of Wales Theatre is on Coventry Street, London W1D 6AS, on the short stretch between Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus, about as central as the West End gets.
- Nearest tube: Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly, Bakerloo), 1 to 2 minutes. Leicester Square (Piccadilly, Northern) is 2 to 4 minutes.
- Rail: Charing Cross is around a 10-minute walk down through Trafalgar Square.
- Buses: routes 9, 12, 14, 19, 23, 88, 94, 139, 159 and 453 all stop at Piccadilly Circus, about two minutes away. Buses don't run through Leicester Square itself.
- Driving: not recommended. The theatre has no parking of its own and sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and the ULEZ. The Leicester Square and Whitcomb Street car parks are about a minute's walk.
Arrive 15 to 20 minutes before the performance, no later, because there are bag checks on the way in. Latecomers may not be let in until a suitable break in the show, and getting in isn't guaranteed, so arrive late and you'll miss the opening number.
The Auditorium at a Glance
The Prince of Wales is a 1930s Art Deco theatre with 1,135 seats over just two levels, the Stalls and the Circle. It's one of London's widest theatres, and the wide, shallow shape means most seats face the stage straight on. There's no Upper Circle or Balcony, and the Circle is reached by stairs only.
For more about the theatre itself, including step-free access and facilities, see our Prince of Wales Theatre guide.

The Book of Mormon Reviews and Reception
When it opened in 2013, the London critics mostly loved it, though a few of the big names were unconvinced. The Independent gave it four stars ("I absolutely loved it: albeit slightly guiltily"), and so did the Evening Standard, for whom "at its best The Book of Mormon is indecently funny", and Metro, which found it "helplessly funny and terrifically entertaining". The Guardian was less sure at three stars, calling it "a mildly amusing musical, with some knowingly parodic songs".
The Telegraph gave it three stars in 2013, then went back in 2023 and gave it five: "genuinely hilarious... remains one of the funniest shows in the West End". These reviews are of the original London company and that 2023 visit, not the current cast. For every verdict since 2013 in one place, read our full round-up, What the Critics Say.
