Starring Kerry Ellis (Wicked) as Eve and Hugh Maynard (Miss Saigon) as Adam and featuring the voice of Russell Watson as the voice of God, the greatest story ever told is to come to life.

A classic retelling of the story of Adam and Eve and their fall from Paradise, it is set to be an exhilarating story of love, loss, and redemption, and an exploration of the universal search for the meaning of life.

A huge production is planned which will see the Garden of Eden created in all its magnificent glory and a whole host of special effects including fire, water and animatronics.

Sara Jeffs is the creator behind the script, music and lyrics. She said: ‘It is so very exciting to see my script coming to life in Heaven on Earth.
