What is the musical Children of Eden all about?

​Based on the story of Genesis, the age-old conflict of parents and children takes the stage in this epic, heartfelt Stephen Schwartz musical.

From musical theatre greats, Stephen Schwartz and John Caird, comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith... not to mention centuries of unresolved family business! An expansive and ambitious musical, the original production used a cast of sixty.
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."
​- from the MTI Children of Eden Show Page

This beautiful show covers the first nine chapters of the book of Genesis.
The first act focuses on Creation, and Adam and Eve and their sons Cain and Abel.
The second act focuses in on Noah, his family and the flood.
