WILMINGTON, Del. (WPVI) — Back by popular demand, the wildly popular Broadway musical “The Book of Mormon” returns to our area this week.
The nine-time Tony Award-winning Best Musical is on stage this weekend only at The Playhouse on Rodney Square in Wilmington.
“It’s a story about two mismatched missionaries that go on a journey of a lifetime,” says Charity Arianna, who plays Nabulingi. “I think it balances comedy and heartwarming and emotional moments, and I feel like it dares to go places that feel really uncharted.”
“The Book of Mormon” is the first Broadway musical by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, and it definitely features their sarcastic and irreverent style. It’s a surprisingly heartfelt story about faith, friendship, and humanitarianism, but it does contain explicit language and is meant for a mature audience.
“I think you have to separate yourself from the real world for a second,” says Arianna. “It’s kind of like an escape, and it’s like a bubble for a few hours. That’s the best part. You kind of just get to laugh.”
The Book of Mormon is on stage at the Playhouse on Rodney Square in Wilmington this Friday through Sunday, March 27 through the 29.
