Comedic and emotional retelling of the biblical story of Noah's Ark based on Clifford Odets' play The Flowering Peach. The plot centers on Noah, a 600-year-old man who receives a direct command from God to build an ark and gather two of every animal to survive a cataclysmic, world-destroying flood. As Noah attempts to fulfill this divine mission, he faces intense skepticism and hilarious domestic friction from his wife, Esther, and their three sons and daughters-in-law, who initially think he has lost his mind. Amidst the chaos of managing a massive menagerie of animals and navigating familial conflicts, the musical explores universal themes of aging, faith, family dynamics, and humanity's enduring relationship with the divine.
