The production features choreography by Nicholas Ranauro, music direction by Heidi Joosten, lighting and sound by Midwest Event Solutions, projection design by Cinevative, hair by Keith Ryan, costumes by Jeremy Swanton, and make-up by Sydney Genco. Ian Connor was production stage manager, and the concert was produced by Chicagoland Theatre Fund and Onesti Entertainment, with Kyle Reid Hass serving as artistic producer.

Based on the book of Genesis and a concept by Charles Lisanby, Children of Eden has a book by Caird and a score by Schwartz and provides a unique telling of the story of creation through the epic of Noah and the flood. The musical had its world premiere in London's West End in 1991, later playing in a revised form at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse in 1997. Though the musical has not yet made it to Broadway, it has become a favorite at regional theatres, schools, and churches. The score includes songs such as "The Spark of Creation," "Lost in the Wilderness," "Stranger to the Rain," and "In Whatever Time We Have." This concert features an expanded orchestration, by Bruce Coughlin and Martin Erksine.

The Chicago concerts had been in the works since 2020, originally announced for summer 2020 with a different creative team and cast. Following the onset of COVID-19, the concert was postponed to August 2021. This date was also postponed. Producers had announced that the concert was the first step towards a Broadway-aimed full staging in Chicago, but that has not yet materialized.
