Children of Eden

Children of Eden, which is based on the Old Testament, translates the first nine chapter of the Book of Genesis into a joyous and enchanting family musical for the 21st century. Book-writer John Caird and composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz retell the human story from the moment of Creation until just after the Flood bringing vibrant new life to our shared ancient history. The show traces Adam and Eve’s adventures as the first couple to face the delights and heartbreaks of parenthood and journeys with Noah as he valiantly sails his Ark into the unknown.

Relating these familiar stories through a melodious, percussive score, Children of Eden reminds us that the oldest tales are also the most deeply connected o our everyday lives as children and parents and seekers of truth. The show causes us to ask important questions about family, love, social responsibility, and religion as it sweeps us along on a tide of music and lyric. The show challenges us as it reaffirms our beliefs. It validates our own daily struggles, comforts us as we try to make sense of sadness, and sustains us as we seek the light that illuminates each of our lives.
