Tony Award winners Nikki M. James and Rory O'Malley are returning to 'The Book of Mormon' on Broadway, reprising their roles from the show's original 2011 cast. James won a Tony for her performance as Nabulungi, while O'Mally was nominated for his role as Elder McKinley.

The musical, created by Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez, satirizes Latter-day Saint missionary culture and has run on Broadway for over a decade. The show remains one of Broadway's highest-grossing productions and continues to draw both controversy and acclaim for its portrayal of Mormon missionaries.

The return of original cast members is unusual for a long-running Broadway show and signals continued strong audience interest in the production.
