Book of Mormon and Matilda

2 shows in one day

We hope to arrive around 1130am. After time for lunch, head to The Prince of Wales Theatre for The Book of Mormon matinee at 2.30pm.

Not for the easily offended!!

The Book of Mormon follows the story of two young Mormon missionaries, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, working to spread the word of the Latter Day Saints to the locals in a small town in Uganda. The LDS church members realise how daunting their task is when they discover the villagers are more concerned with the AIDS epidemic, oppression, and starvation.

Anyone familiar with South Park or the work of Trey Parker and Matt Stone would know that The Book of Mormon can get rather bawdy and crass at times! That being said, despite Parker and Stone’s in-your-face subject matter, the musical never received a backlash from members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. In fact, the Mormon Church even stated the musical may be “entertaining for a day”, while also going on to add that “the book is always better” when it comes to theatrical adaptations.

The show finishes at 5pm so time to grab some dinner, see the famous lights and soak up the festive atmosphere before, heading over to The Cambridge Theatre for your 7pm show.
Matilda The Musical is the multi-award winning musical from the Royal Shakespeare Company, inspired by the beloved book by the incomparable Roald Dahl.

With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda The Musical is the story of an extraordinary little girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.

Winner of over 100 international awards, including 24 for Best Musical, Matilda has been delighting audiences in London’s West End for over a decade.
