Alongside Matt Stone and award-winning songwriter Bobby Lopez, Parker developed the hit Broadway musical The Book of Mormon, which premiered in 2011. Now the tenth longest-running show in Broadway history, the production has won nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book of a Musical, as well as the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Lyrics and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.
In 2024 Parker and Stone released the documentary Casa Bonita Mi Amor, which premiered at the Tribeca and Telluride Film Festivals. The film became one of the highest-grossing documentaries of 2024. Previously, Parker directed and co-wrote with Stone the puppet-comedy Team America: World Police and starred in the comedy BASEketball.
