'The Book of Mormon' coming to San Francisco

The Tony Award-winning musical The Book of Mormon will be heading to San Francisco.

For five weeks in November, the musical will be hitting the stage at the Curran Theater.

The recipient of 9 Tony Awards, The Book of Mormon has been called "an extraordinary well-crafted musical assault on all things holy," by the Washington Post while Vogue declared that the musical "may just be the funniest musical of all time."

From the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, The Book of Mormon follows the adventures of two young Mormon missionaries on their journey to spread their gospel in Africa. They however, continually find themselves being hit with reality, explains the Huffington Post.

The Book of Mormon opened on March 24, 2011 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York and received critical acclaim.

Topping the Broadway box office charts last week, The Book of Mormon came in second behind the widely well-known powerhouse, Wicked. Mormon raked in $1.485 million, with Wicked coming in slightly ahead with $1.509 million.

The production has also received a Grammy for best musical theatre album.

The national tour will be launched August 14- September 2 in Denver, Colorado. This run of the musical sold out within 5 hours reports PlayBill.

The tour will also be stopping in 2013 at the Civic Center of Greater Des Moines from January 24- February 3, Oprheum Theatre in Minneapolis from February 5-17, and Toronto from May- June 2013.

In addition, from December 11, 2012 to March 3, 2013, a separate Chicago production will be playing at the Bank of America Theatre.
