About the Show
From musical theatre greats Stephen Schwartz and John Caird comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith... not to mention centuries of unresolved family business! An expansive and ambitious musical, the original production used a cast of sixty.
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." - See more at: Music Theatre International
This year the show is once again directed by Dr. Sheryl Monkelien, music; MU alum O. David Deitz, stage; and MU alum Peter Davis, technical with help from other MU alums Derek Keifer, lights and Brandon Russell, sound.
