<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT><BR>From
Stephen Schwartz ("Wicked") and John Caird of "Les Miserables" comes a
joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith... not
to mention centuries of unresolved family business! <BR><BR>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."<BR><BR><SPAN
