Civic MainStage Presents...

Children of Eden

From Steven Schwartz (Pippen, Godspell, Wicked) and John Caird (Les Miserables) 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 deals delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: "The hardest part of love...is letting go."

A deeply humanistic work, Children of Eden appeals to both religious and non-religious audiences.  The melodic, energetic score is a mix of pop, folk, rock, reggae, gospel, Broadway and powerful choral moments.

Written by: Stephen Schwartz (music) and John Caird (lyrics)
