This is a wonderful representation of "Children of Eden." The music is powerful, and the actors are wonderful. Highly recommended for anyone who is a fan of the show or of Stephen Schwartz musicals.
Diverse music that grows on you September 9, 2006

I was in a production of Children of Eden and did not like the music at first. It definitely grows on you and is extremly moving at times, especially the finale "Children of Eden". My favorite though is "Ain't it Good" which I hated when I first heard it. Very good show but remember it is a show and don't get into theological discussions about it's suppossed misrepresentations of the Old Testament. It's fiction and doesn't propose to be anything else.
 As good as any musical recording... June 24, 2006

I'm not any sort of theatre expert, so I won't pretend to offer the critical analysis that some other reviewers have provided (rather snobbishly, I might add). Ultimately, I think that this recording is absolutely brilliant. In contrast to some critics, I think that the musical variety contained within this show is stunning, yet I felt like Schwartz was up to the challenge throughout the show, regardless of the style which he was using for a given song. Take note of "In Pursuit of Excellence" as a perfect example of a totally unique, but absolutely engaging song.
For whatever it's worth, I have some serious theological issues with this show. I wouldn't actually recommend anyone to casually watch the show because I think that there are some unfortunate misrepresentations of the character of God. However, there are also some powerful moments of personalizing the story of the human experience within God's creation that become real in ways that only theatre can provide. And it offered hours of good conversation for my wife and me afterwards.
Specifically related to this album, I love it. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes the musical theatre format but who wants some more depth than many Broadway shows.
