If you love the soaring melodies of WICKED you’ll really enjoy CHILDREN OF EDEN at the Union Theatre, by the same composer and lyricist, Stephen Schwartz.
For me it was a rare opportunity to re-discover some of the most popular audition songs I hear as a director in their original dramatic context. I say rare because there hasn’t been a professional production in the UK since the premiere bombed in the West End 25 years ago.

After the song writing team of Rodgers and Hammerstein had massive block buster hits with OKLAHOMA and CAROUSEL and before they went on to write the equally successful THE KING AND I, SOUTH PACIFIC and THE SOUND OF MUSIC there were also a couple of flops.

Now he turns his attention to ALLEGRO, perhaps the least easy to love of the repertoire.

Even if you have seen the film, this is one story that never fails to tug at your heart-strings. Not like your usual musical, this story holds as much weight as the musical element, and that is why it is such a hit with avid theatre-goers and juke box musical fans alike.
