Though Children of Eden is based on stories from Genesis, we are confident we can provide a secular educational experience. From the composer of Wicked comes this joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children, and the meaning of life. An expansive and ambitious musical, the original production used a cast of sixty. The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message that “the hardest part of love… is letting go.”
