Playbill • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The Book of Mormon will resume performances at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on May 21, with the box office reopening to the public on May 15 after being temporarily relocated due to a fire.
- The fire, which broke out on May 4 in the spotlight room of the theatre, caused significant damage to the roof and electrical equipment, leading to a vacate order by the New York Department of Building.
- Repairs have progressed quickly, allowing the Department of Buildings to partially lift the vacate order on May 13, permitting public spaces to reopen while the spotlight room remains closed.
- To celebrate the show's 15th anniversary, the first 50 people at the box office on May 15 can purchase $15 tickets for select summer performances, with a limit of two tickets per person.
- ATG Entertainment and The Book of Mormon expressed gratitude to the FDNY and Department of Buildings for their assistance during the repair process.
