At the 2017 Helpmann Awards at the Capitol Theatre, Sydney, The Book of Mormon was announced as winner of the coveted Best Musical award, while Trey Parker and Casey Nicholaw were awarded the trophy of Best Direction of a Musical.

The Australian production of Broadway's smash hit The Book of Mormon has notched up over 200 performances since opening at Melbourne's Princess Theatre on 17 January, with every performance sold out.

Winner of nine Tony Awards® including Best Musical, the Grammy® for Best Musical Theatre album and four Olivier Awards® including Best Musical, The Book of Mormon broke the house record for the highest selling on sale period of any production in the Princess Theatre's 159-year history. It is currently selling to 5 November 2017.
