i watched my big sister's school's version of this show four days in a row when I was 7-9 years old and ever since my vision of God has been the senior boy who played him in that show; a very tall Latino boy with short hair and kind of one of those thin rat mustaches
I’m an atheist too, I was in this play and it was the most enjoyable plays I have ever been in. Personally I think it is a good story, and the music is good. So I agree.
Me and a couple of characters were waiting in the back for the next scene and we didn’t know that the guy playing Father(God) had his mic on so the whole audience heard our conversation about fifty shades darker. Didn’t help that the guy playing Father was gay
This was the very first full scale musical I've ever performed in; I played Young Abel. This will always have a special and nostalgic place in my heart.
getting to be part of the chorus/one of the animals in this production as a child is, in my opinion, one of the best possible ways to be introduced to these stories and the Christian tradition in general. the whole musical is unforgettable, and filled with power. learning it from the inside was invaluable.
I was on stage crew, and worked the follow spot (moving spotlight) my Senior Year of HS. Being up on my perch, I got to watch the show every night, and even now, almost 5 years later, it still gives me so much joy.
in middle school for theatre class we went to the high school rehearsal of this and it gave me so many chills like the vocals for such young men and women were phenomenal.
my high school decided to do this show this year. this is one of my favorite songs, my first being a world without you. i was 1 of 2 freshmen to get a role, a storyteller. i had a solo and generations and everything. tragically, due to the corona virus, our production has been postponed until further notice.

Same but our school had a black gospel singing boy 😂 so now I only can here god like that
I'm an atheist and this is one of my favorite musicals. good music is good music
Orochimaruswife1 Me too!
Me too. You don't need to believe that the stories actually happened to enjoy them
Hey, a good story is a good story, whether you believe in it or not.
same
I’m an atheist too, I was in this play and it was the most enjoyable plays I have ever been in. Personally I think it is a good story, and the music is good. So I agree.
Never gonna forget one rehearsal when literally half the cast accidentally said "And the father breathed into his children a garden"
For us it was "Yonah called to his servent girl, Noah was her name (BOM BOM BOM BOM)"
For us Japheth and Yonah said “we place this virgin land upon our feet” 😆😆😆😆
For me it’s, “But Abel and I can find husbands and wives” instead of “comrades and wives.”
Final dress, our Shem accidentally went "Oh my God" when someone dropped a line and none of us could hold it together
Me and a couple of characters were waiting in the back for the next scene and we didn’t know that the guy playing Father(God) had his mic on so the whole audience heard our conversation about fifty shades darker. Didn’t help that the guy playing Father was gay
Choir: In the beginning God created 💡LIGHT!💡
God: Oh... that's bright
I played Father as a Junior in my high school’s production of Children of Eden nearly 15 yrs ago! Wow...
Currently me right now!
@@TornadoHarry good luck!!!🙏🏾💪🏾
This was the very first full scale musical I've ever performed in; I played Young Abel. This will always have a special and nostalgic place in my heart.
Same I was a zebra/ kids choir at a church I used to go to in ct
I played god And I will never forget it. Just the soundtrack will stuck inside my head for years.
getting to be part of the chorus/one of the animals in this production as a child is, in my opinion, one of the best possible ways to be introduced to these stories and the Christian tradition in general. the whole musical is unforgettable, and filled with power. learning it from the inside was invaluable.
🙋♂️Young Cain
[tosses and catches rock maliciously]
I’m young Cain in this it’s just a small break but then I have a show on my bday
This was my favorite musical my high school did! I'm so mad that iTunes doesn't have this soundtrack. I love it so much!
I was on stage crew, and worked the follow spot (moving spotlight) my Senior Year of HS. Being up on my perch, I got to watch the show every night, and even now, almost 5 years later, it still gives me so much joy.
Just played this show two days ago! Loved it!! Met Stephen Schwartz!!
Omg how did u meet him
Oh my, isn't he like, an actual genius?
I somehow just discovered this musical last night through my college and I cannot get over it. It’s amazing 🤩
I watched this at Stagecrafters!! It was BREATHTAKING!!!
in middle school for theatre class we went to the high school rehearsal of this and it gave me so many chills like the vocals for such young men and women were phenomenal.
