CURRENTLY SEEKING:

•  MAFALA HATIMBI

We are searching for a talented performer to join THE BOOK OF MORMON company in the role of Mafala with performances expected to commence mid-September 2026 (rehearsal start date TBC).

The Book of Mormon is a musical comedy with music, lyrics, and book by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone. The story follows two missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as they attempt to preach the faith to the inhabitants of a remote Ugandan village. The earnest young men are challenged by the lack of interest from the locals, who are distracted by more pressing issues such as HIV/AIDS, famine, female genital mutilation, child molestation, and oppression by the local warlord.

The show premiered on Broadway at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre in March 2011, starring Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad. It garnered overwhelmingly positive critical responses and set records in ticket sales for the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. The Book of Mormon was awarded nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. The success of the Broadway production has spawned many staging’s worldwide, including a long-running West End replica and several US national tours.
