There are 42 musical numbers in the show. A few of these are reprises and a few are quite short, but it is still a lot of singing …. and very good it is too!
On this page are quick links to some of the songs on YouTube. For any given song there are a number of YouTube videos, so please explore the web for other versions and variations.
Some are ‘concert’ performances, a few are just the music with a sort of static slide show backing. Others are from stage versions of Children of Eden performed by various groups.
