Book and Lyrics by Arthur MillerMusic by Stanley Silverman
This musical version of Arthur Miller's The Creation of the World and Other Business features a charmingly eclectic score, contrasting liturgical music against contemporary gospel, musical theatre and barbershop.
“Warm-spirited... merry use of barbershop, Baroque and gospel harmonies.” – The New York Times
“[A] delightful score, ranging from Handel to Weill, and with all sorts of entertaining stops in between.” – New York Daily News
“Miller’s script bounces between a witty retelling, with the Garden of Eden as the setting for the world’s first sitcom, and a more serious contemplation of the nature of faith and fealty to one’s god. Silverman’s score picks up on this, marrying several numbers that are tonally rooted in the history of liturgical chant with others that are pure Tin Pan Alley.” – Scott Matthewman, Musical Theatre Review
