Hi Guys! I am attaching the sheet music for our group musical theatre number, "In the Beginning" from Children of Eden (I know that you don't know it, but trust me, you will LOVE it!)  Please look it over and be prepared for our first rehearsal to be at least familiar with it.  There are several vocal "features" in it.  We will audition those at our first rehearsal (which will be at lunch once Damn Yankees is cast, date TBD). Have a great Thanksgiving! Ms. R Click Here for In the Beginning Sheet Music Cast recording version Instrumental version
