The musical comedy follows two missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They attempt to preach their faith to people in Uganda but quickly learn locals have a lack of interest in the faith, because they’re more concerned about more pressing issues like HIV/AIDS and famine.
The show first premiered on Broadway in March 2011. Since then, it has won nine Tony awards, including Best Musical. It has also won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.
