I was in this show last year

I was in a production of this nearly 20 years ago and i still remember most of the songs

18 years ago i was in a young people's theatre production of this show. This song is so freaking good! Can't help but recall vague memories of our choreography for it

Many MANY years ago in the summer of 06 I was in my local theater's production of Children of Eden. It was a youth theater group for ages 13-19 and I was in it for three years. This was the first show with them I did and I loved it.

This is just pure nostalgia for me. A time of my life I would give anything to go back to.

Stephanie Mills made this musical! Only a black woman could play Eve. It was so soulful!

Incredible harmeneles!

I'm Adam and I'm singing this song for my school play this year. Pretty excited

Definitely one of my favorite shows I have seen. I saw this show in 2019 and I loved it. it made me cry though.

The roottrees send their regards

My school is doing this show this year, and I’m playing Leaf! I’m so excited because this show is great!

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

As someone who grew up religious (not a good one) this song is so cathartic

Oh this play is a hoot!

Does anyone know what key this song is in?

I’m going to play Cain in three weeks, and I’m really excited for this song. Some of my lines feel more powerful than in Lost in the Wilderness.

this show is packed with GREAT tunes... humor... and some really emotion stuff as well....

2:07 to 2:32 is maybe my favorite part of any song of any musical ever made. 25+ years with this musical and it still gives me chills.

So where did there other humans come from? And when Adam mentions other "Fathers," is he hinting they there might be more than one God out there?

2:22

I was involved in this show while in seminary and traveled to the Methodist conference where they voted to retain LGBTQIA+ discrimination in their rules. I came back home to launch into tech week and broke down the first time I heard this song. I just related to it so much in that moment.
