News PHOTO CALL: A First Look at The Book of Mormon on Broadway The new musical The Book of Mormon — from Emmy Award-winning "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q Tony Award winner Robert Lopez — plays Broadway's Eugene O'Neill Theatre.

Josh Gad ("The Daily Show with Jon Stewart") and Andrew Rannells (Jersey Boys) star as an unlikely pair of Mormon missionaries who venture from Salt Lake City to AIDS-ravaged Uganda in the hopes of converting villagers with the story of Joseph Smith and the founding of the Mormon Church. The problem is: Only one of them has actually read the book. Broadway previews began Feb. 24.

Here are the first production shots from the show:
