🎭✨ Charlotte… are you ready for one of the most talked-about musicals ever?

THE BOOK OF MORMON is coming to town — and if you've somehow missed the hype, here’s your chance to see what The New York Times calls “the best musical of this century.”
🔥 Nine-time Tony Award® winner
🤣 Called “the funniest musical of all time” by Entertainment Weekly
👏 Described by Jimmy Fallon as “Genius. Brilliant. Phenomenal.”

This outrageously funny musical follows a hilariously mismatched pair of missionaries on a journey halfway across the world… and let’s just say, things don’t go as planned. It’s bold, clever, a little unholy — and absolutely unforgettable.
Warning: Contains explicit language.

📍 Where: Ovens Auditorium
📅 When: Aug 12-17, 2025
🎟 Tickets: Available now at ticketmaster.com or on the Ticketmaster app
📞 Info: (704) 335-3100
📍 Address: 2700 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28205

🙌 This one sells out fast — standing ovations everywhere it goes. Tag your theater crew and grab those seats!
