Mark your calendars: on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, The Book of Mormon will hit the stage at 7:30 PM in the Arena at Bismarck Event Center in downtown Bismarck. Doors open around 7:00 PM. Ticket prices start in the $66 range, with average fares near $102.
Bismarck’s cultural calendar is heating up, and The Book of Mormon is poised to be a marquee highlight. The musical — by the creators of South Park and composer of Frozen — has won nine Tony Awards and drawn acclaim for its irreverent humor and sharp satire.
For a city of Bismarck’s size, drawing a Broadway spectacle like this underscores the growing appetite for arts and live entertainment in central North Dakota. Local theaters and events can leverage that momentum. Plus, with the Bismarck Event Center advertising it under its Broadway series, it signals a push to bring more top-tier national touring shows here.
On the city side, residents are already navigating road and lane work: starting September 29, eastbound lanes of Bismarck Expressway from Washington Street to 3rd Street will drop to a single through lane for repairs.
That could impact traffic flow on the evening of the show. Nearby intersection construction and signal replacements are ongoing in other parts of the city, adding to potential congestion.
Meanwhile, in the local sports realm, the Bismarck Bobcats celebrated a high note: they clinched the 2025 Robertson Cup in the NAHL, putting local sports in the spotlight this summer.
That win has energized the city’s community spirit — and sets a festive tone leading into fall events like this musical.
“We encourage theatergoers to arrive early — not just for parking but also to soak in the pre-show atmosphere,” she adds.
“I saw this show in New York years ago and it changed my view of musical comedy. Having it here means our town’s cultural profile is rising.”
We’re aware of the road work near the expressway. On that night, we’ll have signage and extra staff deployed to help direct attendees safely to the Event Center.”
If you love theater, bold comedy, or want one unforgettable night out — don’t wait. Grab your tickets while seats last. Arrive early, map your route considering ongoing roadwork, and get ready for a show that’s equal parts hilarious, irreverent, and thought-provoking. Bismarck is about to experience a Broadway moment — be there to witness it.
