The Book of Mormon returns to Melbourne’s Princess Theatre after 10 years.
The Book of Mormon has officially returned to Melbourne’s Princess Theatre after ten long years, opening officially on February 12th 2026. Audiences praised the heavens that this nine-time Tony Award®-winning Best Musical has graced our stages once again in what has been a sell-out return season.
Starring new and returning faces to the stage, Sean Johnston as Elder Price, Nick Cox as Elder Cunningham, Paris Leveque as Nabulungi, Tom Struik as Elder Mckinley, Simbarashe Matshe as Mafala Hatimbi, Augie Tchantcho as The General, and Matthew Hamilton as Mission President.
The Book of Mormon is produced in Australia by Anne Garefino, Important Musicals and Suzanne Jones for JONES Theatrical Group. The New York Times calls it “the best musical of this century.” The Washington Post says, “It is the kind of evening that restores your faith in musicals.” And Entertainment Weekly says, “Grade A: the funniest musical of all time.”
The story follows the misadventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries, sent on a mission to a place that’s about as far from Salt Lake City as you can get. The Book of Mormon has truly become an international sensation. If you haven’t listened to the full soundtrack yet, you can find the original American cast recordings on all music streaming platforms, or for the first time ever you can watch an Australian recording of the opening number in the musical ‘Hello!‘ on YouTube here:

The relationship between Elder Price and Elder Cunningham develop throughout the show, in what is described to be a story about two best friends.
