The Book of Mormon Becomes 12th Longest-Running Show in Broadway History December 28

When the Broadway production of the Tony-winning The Book of Mormon plays its 4,643rd performance December 28 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, it will surpass Jersey Boys to become the 12th longest-running show in Broadway history.

To mark the occasion, four members of the current Broadway cast of The Book of Mormon—Noah Marlowe, PJ Adzima, John Pinto, Jr., and Ben Laxton—pay tribute to the Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons musical in a new video featuring a “Walk Like a Man"/“Man Up” mashup. Watch the salute to Jersey Boys below. (Click here for a list of Broadway's other longest-running productions.)
