What I liked

I loved seeing Adam evolve from a naive childlike state, to a man struggling to maintain his happy go lucky nature in a world that leaves you with more questions than answers. The portrayal of Eve was complex and sincere, it was a performance I will be thinking about for quite some time. God being played by a drag queen was absolute genius.

What I didn't like

God only appears once in the second half of the show and it was a rather comedic scene, I would have liked to see them more often to really get a viewpoint on how their character had changed once the story was moved out of the Garden.

My overall impression

This show was beautifully written and performed!! It spoke to true human nature while we watched the first people struggle to understand their place in this world. The humorous moments were much appreciated and contrasted the heartbreak and turmoil the characters were thrust into perfectly. I laughed heartily, cried heavily, and was in awe at how relatable this tale as old as time could still be. I felt deeply connected to the characters.
