Book and Lyrics by Arthur MillerMusic by Stanley Silverman
This musical version of Miller's The Creation of the World and Other Business is about the first First Family – Adam and Eve. The book, by one of America's preeminent playwrights, plays first as comedy, as Adam and Eve discover the world, and later as drama, as they and their children adapt to life beyond Paradise. The music, by celebrated theatrical composer Stanley Silverman, ranges from liturgical to gospel, pop, barbershop and traditional musical theatre. The musical's simple set requirements, small cast and delightful content make Up From Paradise the perfect show for synagogue and church productions.
