Based on the international best-selling book by Stuart Hample and Eric Marshall, 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 everyone, 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 crossing the boundaries of age, geography and religion.
As in the bestselling 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.
