THE BOOK OF MORMON Becomes Longest Running Show at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Tonight, November 2, 2018, Broadway's The Book of Mormon will play its 3,183rd performance, at which point it will become the longest running production in the history of the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. The previous record holder was the original production of Tobacco Road, which spent most of its 3,182-performance run at the Forrest Theatre (now the O'Neill).

The Book of Mormon smashed box office records for the highest single day of sales in West End history, and has filled every single seat of its 2,370 performances thus far at The Prince of Wales Theatre.
