Hear music samples of the score - see below! High School/Little Theatre/All Groups Musical Comedy DRAMA DESK NOMINEE Book by Stuart Hample. Music by David Evans. Lyrics by Douglas J. Cohen. Based on the international best-selling book by Stuart Hample and Eric Marshall. 3 m, 2 f (Can be performed by age appropriate children or young adults. Gender substitutions possible and cast can also be expanded.) Unit Set. Inspired by the international bestseller of the same name, Children's Letters To God is a musical that follows the lives of five young friends as they voice beliefs, desires, questions and doubts common to all people but most disarmingly expressed by children. Sixteen tuneful songs and assorted scenes (some based on actual letters) explore timeless issues such as sibling rivalry, divorce, holidays, loss of a beloved pet, the trials of being unathletic and first love. This entertaining show carries a universal message which crosses the boundaries of age, geography, and religion. As in the best-selling book, the musical is not specifically religious in nature. It's about kids and various events in their lives that lead them to ask a lot of questions -- some funny, some serious, some surprising.Listen to samples from the CD cast recording:
