Broadway's Book of Mormon Will Welcome Return of Former Elder Price | Playbill

News Broadway's Book of Mormon Will Welcome Return of Former Elder Price Nic Rouleau — who has been seen as Elder Price, the role created by Andrew Rannells, on Broadway, in the national tour and London — will return to the New York company beginning Feb. 23 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre.

The acclaimed singing actor, who is scheduled to play the role for a year on Broadway, will be seen opposite the Elder Cunningham of Chris O'Neill.

Rouleau told Playbill.com, "I had an amazing year in London ringing doorbells in the West End, but I'm so excited to return to the show on Broadway for the third time. I started in Mormon at The Eugene O'Neill Theatre over four-and-a-half years ago. And while I've been fortunate to play Elder Price across the U.S. and now London, I'm thrilled to return home where it all began."
