Children of Eden

Can anyone tell me what this show was about? I was at a choral concert today, in Burgdorf, Switzerland. The concert was music from Great Britian and the USA, but it was more from the U.S. -- Aaron Copeland, selections from Porgy and Bess, Chichester Psalms by Leonard Bernstein and music from Godspell and Children of Eden by Stephen Schwartz. While I'm very familiar with the first Schwartz selection, the latter is unknown to me.

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

I figured it had something to do with Adam and Eve . Thanks. I'll have to check the IBDB to see when it ran.

I never heard of the show until I heard Matt sing Lost In the Wilderness.

MusicMan is correct. I like just about every song but there's no dramatic core to any of it. It's just a bunch of songs that, for all intents and purposes, tell that particular story. There's no musical or dramatic build.

Yes, and as a DC area resident I plan to see it. I've always liked the music from it, but have never seen it staged. I'll be interested to see if what has been stated here is accurate - that it is all musical fluff and no substance.
