Editorial Reviews

The two-disc Children of Eden assembles the original cast recording of this musical penned by Stephen Schwartz, which adapts the Old Testament to explore the theme of conflict between parents and their children. Neither Schwartz's lyrics nor melodies are among his best, and the performances -- particularly those of nominal stars Stephanie Mills and Adrian Zmed -- are lackluster at best.

November 04, 2002: I think that this musical was one of the greatest I have seen in a while. Some shows are over done and become irritaitng after listening to the scores a few times and seeing the production. This musical should be preformed more and can be easily because of the variety of ways a cast and crew can interpret the various aspects of the show. I agree that not all of the songs on this album are not my favorite examples of this show, but some of my all time favorite songs are included (spark of creation). Give the songs a shot and see the show. They are meant to be enjoyed together because they both make up one thing, Children of Eden.

October 12, 2002: This is the most awesome, cool and wonderful musical on earth! Though the 1st time I heard it, I didn't love it. But I gave it a second chance and it was so much better for me! This is definetly a musical that will go down as one of the best!
