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.” A full synopsis of the entire story is available on the Music Theatre International Website at this link. |

A few comments from the audience… “Astonishing” “Moving – I cried through the whole thing!” “Incredibly sung” “I’m blown away. Masterful” “Another amazing show at FPAC!” “Amazing, breathtaking, spectacular – not to be missed!” “Wonderful Show! I felt like I was at Playhouse Square.” “So I didn’t get a chance to talk to you after I saw “Children of Eden,” but I just wanted to say congratulations on a truly fantastic show. I was really “wowed” by the cast and I was moved to tears. I had never seen the show before, but now I can’t really imagine seeing it somewhere else with a different cast because the show was just so beautiful. So congratulations!” “extraordinary” ” mind-blowing” “We had tears in our eyes” “great theater”
