The Book of Mormon UK and International Tour Reveals Casting
Hello… again! The Book of Mormon has announced the cast for its forthcoming UK and international tour.
The highly anticipated tour will kick off at the Manchester Palace Theatre, where it will play for four weeks starting on 9 September 2024. Following Manchester, the show will continue its run in Edinburgh, Bradford, Birmingham, Plymouth, Zurich, Hull, and Dublin, with additional cast members to be announced.
Leading the cast will be Adam Bailey as Elder Price and Sam Glen as Elder Cunningham. They will be joined by Nyah Nish as Nabulungi, Tom Bales as Elder McKinley, Kirk Patterson as Mafala Hatimbi, Will Barratt as Joseph Smith, and Rodney Earl Clarke as the General.
The ensemble cast includes Tolu Ayanbadejo, Dan Burstow, Hayden Cable, Will Carey, Olympia Curry, Kanoumah Diguet, Daniel David Griffith, Benjamin Cameron, Daniel George-Wright, Savannah Hall, Alex Hayden, Aaron Levi, Eden Lindsay, Zachary Loonie, Ross McKenna, Daniel N’Guessan-Lopez, Jessica Oppong, Jake Reynolds, Kayode Salina, Rory Shafford, Harry Simpson, Elliot Swann, and Harry Winchester.
The Book of Mormon, penned by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone, tells the story of an unlikely pair of Mormon missionaries sent to Uganda. Since its West End debut in late 2013, the show has become a massive hit.
Further tour stops, additional casting, and more details will be revealed in due course.
The creative team for the acclaimed production includes co-directors Parker and Casey Nicholaw (who also serves as choreographer), set designer Scott Pask, costume designer Ann Roth, lighting designer Brian Macdevitt, and sound designer Brian Ronan. Hair design is by Josh Marquette, with orchestrations by Larry Hochman and Stephen Oremus, music supervision and vocal arrangements by Oremus, musical direction by Colm O’Regan, and dance arrangements by Glen Kelly. Casting is by Natalie Gallacher for Pippa Ailion Casting.
