'Book of Mormon' already breaks record in London
NEW YORK (AP) _ The seemingly unstoppable hit ``The Book of Mormon'' has
broken another record _ this time on the other side of the Atlantic.
The quirky, profane musical opened Thursday to some critical bashing, but
the next day earned the highest one-day gross in London theater history.
Between 10 a.m. and midnight Friday, 2.1 million pounds ($3.2 million) was
taken in.
The exuberantly profane show by ``South Park'' creators Trey Parker and
Matt Stone and ``Avenue Q'' composer Robert Lopez tells the story of two
Mormon missionaries sent to spread the word in Uganda.
A production has opened in Chicago and a national U.S. tour kicked off in
August in December, where it has broken box office records as it crosses the
country.
