The Book of Mormon's 5,124th Performance Surpasses Run of the Original Broadway Production of RENT
With today’s matinee, The Book of Mormon plays its 5,124th performance, where it will surpass the run of the original Broadway production of Rent to become Broadway’s 11th longest-running show. To celebrate the occasion, the cast of The Book of Mormon performed “Seasons of Love” at the curtain call of last night’s performance. The performance was introduced by cast members Jacques C. Smith and John Eric Parker, who both made their Broadway debuts in Rent.
The Broadway production also recently celebrated its 5,000th performance and is the longest running show in the 100-year history of the Eugene O’Neill Theatre.
The Book of Mormon is also playing on the West End and on tour in the UK, will open in Sydney, Australia in July and is currently on tour in North America.
