The Broadway production of The Book of Mormon continues at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York. In September the first national US tour began at the Denver Center Attractions' Ellie Caulkins Opera House and in December a new company of The Book of Mormon began an engagement at the Bank of America Theatre, Chicago.
