Matt Brinkler, Chloe Hart, Joanna Kirkland, Craig Rhys-Barlow and Gemma –Sandzer are Storytellers.The parts of Abe and Noah are still to be announced.

I saw Children of Eden during its short run at the Prince Edward Theatre in 1991 when it starred Ruthie Henshall and can't remember much about its score at all.
The music and lyrics are by Stephen Schwartz and the book is by John Caird. It is based on the Book of Genesis with Act I telling the story of Adam and Eve, Cain, and Abel and Act II dealing with Noah and the Flood.
The Children of Eden Concert is in aid of in aid of Crohn's and Colitis UK. Buy tickets at: https://tickets.delfont-mackintosh.com/
