NEW YORK (WABC) — The Book of Mormon finally returns to Broadway Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

A select number of $15 tickets are on sale, two per customer, in honor of the show’s 15th anniversary on Broadway.<\/p>\n

It’s been nearly a month since theater goers last saw the show.<\/p>\n

On May 4, a fire burned through part of the Eugene O’Neill Theatre<\/a>, causing significant damage.<\/p>\n

No one was hurt.<\/p>\n

Producers were hoping to get the show back up and running sooner, but repairs took longer than expected.<\/p>\n

“The Book of Mormon” will finally return Wednesday night and the FDNY Chief of Department will join other officials and theater lovers to watch it.<\/p>\n

Tuesday morning, New Yorkers and tourists were lining up more than two hours before tickets went on sale.<\/p>\n

“It feels like it’s going to be a special show celebrating coming back from being away from such a long time for something as scary as a fire, and I just wanted to be there to experience it,” said Joe, an Upper West Side resident. “They might crack some extra jokes tonight and I wanted to see it.”<\/p>\n

“When I knew I was coming to New York I was so excited to see it and a week before I was traveling the fire happened and I was so sad because I really wanted to see it,” said Augustina, a tourist from Argentina. “It’s like a miracle because we leave on Friday so now we can see it.”<\/p>\n

The show takes to the stage at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
