Tickets start from £15 plus booking fees however a lot of these have already sold out - most days you will be looking at starting prices from £35-£50 depending on seat location and performance date (weekends are more expensive). As with most touring productions, premium seats in the stalls and front circle are priced higher, while balcony and restricted-view seats are more affordable.
The show carries an age guidance of 14+, as it includes strong language, adult themes, strobe lighting, and loud effects. The running time is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, including an interval.
Why see The Book of Mormon?
Few modern musicals have achieved the cult status of The Book of Mormon. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone (the minds behind South Park) and Robert Lopez (co-creator of Avenue Q and Frozen), the show is a razor-sharp satire that takes aim at religion, optimism, and the power of storytelling.
Despite its provocative humour, the musical is surprisingly heartfelt, with catchy songs like “Hello!” and “I Believe” that stay with audiences long after the curtain falls. The mix of irreverence and sincerity has helped it win multiple Tony and Olivier Awards and remain a must-see for musical theatre fans.
Given its reputation, the Bristol run is expected to sell quickly — particularly for weekend performances.
Ticket availability guide - live ticket information here
While live day-by-day data changes frequently, here’s what you can expect in terms of seat availability trends across the three-week run.
Weekday evenings (Monday–Thursday)
These shows usually have the best availability. Demand is lower than at weekends, so you’re more likely to find good seats in the stalls or front circle, sometimes even at standard pricing. If you want choice and comfort without the rush, aim for a mid-week evening.
Friday matinee and evening
Fridays are popular, but the afternoon matinee often retains slightly better availability than the evening show. The evening performance is one of the week’s top sellers, so the best seats may go quickly.
Saturdays
Saturdays — both matinee and evening — are typically the busiest and most expensive performances. These shows tend to sell out first, with premium stalls seats disappearing early. If you must go on a Saturday, book as far in advance as possible.
Opening and closing nights
Opening night (Tuesday 21 October) and closing night (Saturday 8 November) will likely be high-demand events, attracting fans and media attention. These nights often sell fast, and remaining seats may be limited to the upper balcony or side views.
Mid-run weekdays
Shows in the middle of the run, particularly between 28 October and 5 November, are expected to have the widest selection of seats. This is the sweet spot if you want prime seats without paying extra or fighting heavy competition.

Tips for securing the best tickets
Book early – The sooner you book, the better your seat options will be. Popular shows like this often sell out months in advance.
Be flexible with dates – Midweek shows offer the best seat availability and lower prices than weekend performances.
Look out for presales – Join the Hippodrome’s or ATG’s mailing lists to receive early booking access.
Check official resale options – If a show appears sold out, theatres often release returned tickets closer to the date.
Avoid third-party scalpers – Stick to official ticketing outlets to avoid inflated prices or fake listings.
Consider side or balcony seats – These offer a more affordable option while still giving a good view of the stage.
Book groups together early – Adjacent seating becomes harder to find as shows near capacity.
Final thoughts
The Book of Mormon remains one of the funniest, most daring, and most talked-about musicals of the century. Its return to the Bristol Hippodrome in late 2025 is sure to be one of the highlights of the regional theatre calendar.
To secure the best seats, act early, aim for mid-week performances if possible, and keep an eye on the theatre’s ticket portal for returns and newly released seats. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a first-time visitor, this outrageous musical promises a night of laughter, shock, and unforgettable songs.
