Following a May 4 fire that has temporarily closed Broadway’s Eugene O’Neill Theatre, long-time home of the Tony-winning The Book of Mormon, in-person ticket sales for Book of Mormon have been relocated to the nearby August Wilson Theatre (245 West 52nd Street), current home of Dog Day Afternoon.
Patrons seeking to purchase tickets for The Book of Mormon in person or to speak with box-office staff are encouraged to visit the August Wilson during regular operating hours (Monday 10 AM-6 PM, Tuesday-Saturday 10 AM-8 PM, Sunday noon-6 PM) until further notice.
Performances for Book of Mormon are currently canceled through May 17, with performances expected to resume in coming weeks. Additional updates regarding repairs and box-office operations at the Eugene O’Neill will be shared as they become available. The Eugene O’Neill Theatre and The August Wilson Theatre are both owned and operated by ATG Entertainment.
