  • A big comeback for Broadway.
  • The fire damage is fixed.
  • Tickets are ready for you soon.

We just saw the best update for musical fans. The Book of Mormon is finally coming back to Broadway. It feels like we have been waiting forever!

Everything stopped because of a fire at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. It was a mess. But the team made “tremendous progress” on the repairs. Now, the show is ready to start again.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 21. That is when the curtains go up. If you want to buy tickets in person, the box office opens tomorrow, May 15.

We love the visual style of this show. Those crisp white shirts against the bright stage lights have such a clean vibe. The theater itself has a classic gold and red aesthetic that we really missed.

Broadway can be a roller coaster. It is almost as dramatic as Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen’s love story. Sometimes things get a bit spooky, like the vibe in Scary Movie, but this news is all good.

Even Seth Rogen is busy creating new visuals for the screen. But nothing beats the feeling of a live stage. We are so happy the lights are coming back on.

Our Take

We are so relieved. Fire damage is no joke for these old, beautiful buildings. Seeing the theater district full of life again makes our hearts happy. It just feels right. Go get those tickets!
