From Stephen Schwartz (the Grammy and Oscar award winning composer
of the music of "Wicked" and several movies, including, "Prince
of Egypt" and "Enchanted") comes a joyous and inspirational
musical about parents, children and faith... not to mention centuries of
unresolved family business!
Freely based on the story of Genesis, CHILDREN OF EDEN is a
frank, heartfelt and often humorous examination of the age-old conflict between
parents and children. Adam, Eve, Noah and the "Father" who created
them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children.
The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that
"the hardest part of love... is letting go."
