Hey Melbourne, the Mormons are back! After wowing audiences in Sydney with plenty of "did they really just say that?” humour, The Book of Mormon is heading to the Princess Theatre. For the uninitiated, The Book of Mormon follows two inept Mormon missionaries from Salt Lake City on their journey to save mortal souls in a corner of Uganda ruled by a one-eyed warlord. It’s the brainchild of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone – hence, you can expect a lot of explicit language – along with Avenue Q and Frozen co-creator Robert Lopez.
March 2026: If you love "did they really just say that?” humour, there's no way you can miss 'The Book of Mormon', which has returned to Her Majesty's Theatre. For something completely different, 'Black Light' is a bold new work kicking off Malthouse’s 2026 season, and it offers a rich portrait of Black motherhood and the everyday drama of family life. And it's your last chance to see 'MJ the Musical', which has its final curtain call on March 13.
