The Book of Mormon, which turns 15 later this month, will celebrate the milestone with a "Magical Mormon Mystery Week" of performances in June at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre.

Co-creators Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez announced on the March 16 broadcast of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert that the June 9–14 performances of the Tony-winning musical will feature appearances in every show by original cast members, including Tony nominees Josh Gad (Elder Cunningham) and Andrew Rannells (Elder Price), Tony winner Nikki M. James (Nabulungi), and Tony nominee Rory O’Malley (Elder McKinley).

The original cast members will perform select scenes and songs at each performance alongside the current cast, with no show exactly the same. The “Mystery Week” performances will also feature Parker, Stone, and Lopez as well as Broadway’s original Mormon and Ugandan ensembles at certain performances, plus other surprise guests from the Mormon family throughout the week.

Tickets for the special performances are now available at ATG Tickets.
