Heaven on Broadway: The Book of Mormon Sets 2026 Return to Perth

Perth, it's time to get your Sunday best ready—the Mormons are coming back.

In a massive win for the local arts scene, the global phenomenon The Book of Mormon has officially announced its return to Crown Theatre starting October 2026. Widely regarded as the biggest musical comedy hit to ever grace Australian shores, the production is set to bring its signature blend of blasphemous wit and heart-on-sleeve musicality back to the west coast.

A Star-Studded Return

The 2026 season features a powerhouse cast of musical theatre veterans and rising stars. Leading the mission are Sean Johnston (Hairspray) as the overachieving Elder Price and Nick Cox (Beauty and the Beast) as the lovably awkward Elder Cunningham.

They are joined by Paris Leveque, making her highly anticipated professional debut as Nabulungi, Tom Struik (Sister Act) as Elder McKinley, and Augie Tchantcho, reprising his formidable role as The General.

The Pedigree of 'The Best Musical of This Century'

For the uninitiated, the show follows a mismatched pair of Mormon missionaries sent to a remote village in Uganda. Written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, alongside EGOT winner Robert Lopez (Frozen, Coco), the show is as technically brilliant as it is irreverent.

Since its Broadway debut in 2011, the production has collected nine Tony Awards® (including Best Musical) and a Grammy® for Best Musical Theatre Album. Critics have hailed it as "the funniest, filthiest and most gloriously fearless musical ever to hit the Australian stage."
