Children of Eden [Original Cast Highlights] in Bloomington, MN

The two-disc
Children of Eden
assembles the original cast recording of this musical penned by
Stephen Schwartz
, which adapts the Old Testament to explore the theme of conflict between parents and their children. Neither
Schwartz's
lyrics nor melodies are among his best, and the performances -- particularly those of nominal stars
Stephanie Mills
and
Adrian Zmed
-- are lackluster at best. ~ Jason Ankeny
