Travelers looking to catch Broadway\u2019s smash-hit musical \u201cThe Book of Mormon\u201d will soon have options other than searching for flights to New York City<\/a>. It was recently announced that the musical will have a second home in Chicago beginning in December 2012.<\/p>\n

Snagging \u201cMormon\u201d is seen as a big coup for the Windy City. The musical quickly became one of the most sought-after titles in production after winning nine Tony Awards back in June.

\u201cMormon\u201d is initially booked for a 12-week run in Chicago, but all indications are that the Windy City will become a long-running second home for the production. \u201cThe Book of Mormon\u201d was written by \u201cSouth Park\u201d creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone alongside \u201cAvenue Q\u2019s Robert Lopez.<\/p>\n
