Book of Mormon Sets May 27 Broadway Return After Theater Fire

The new date reflects ongoing safety checks after a spotlight‑booth fire.

Overview

  • Producers and theater owner ATG, which announced the new plan Tuesday, set the return for Wednesday, May 27.
  • The show pushed back its previously planned May 21 reopening after repair work took longer than expected.
  • A three-alarm fire on May 4 started in the follow-spot booth between upper floors, spread toward the roof, injured one firefighter, and the cause remains unknown.
  • The Department of Buildings partially lifted its vacate order on May 13, clearing public areas to reopen while keeping the spotlight room off-limits.
  • The box office is open and ticket holders will be contacted for refunds or new dates, and plans for a June 9–14 week with original cast members remain uncertain.
