What is The Apple Tree?
1.
The Apple Tree is a three act musical with three different parts: the first being based on Mark Twain's The Diary of Adam and Eve, the second based on Frank R. Stockton's The Lady or the Tiger? and the third based off Passionella by Jules Feiffer. Each has its own story line, but all are tied together by the common theme of the relationship between man and woman, common musical themes, and common references such as "Why Brown?" The musical opened on October 18, 1966, at the Shubert Theatre (in New York), and ran for 463 performances, closing on November 25, 1967. It originally starred Barbara Harris(who won a Tony for Best Actress in a Musical for the role), Alan Alda, and Larry Blyden. The Apple Tree also received several other major Tony nominations: Alda for Best Actor in a Musical, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick for Best Composer and Lyricist, Mike Nichols for Best Direction of a Musical, Lee Theodore for Best Choreography, and the show itself for Best Musical. The Roundabout Theatre Company, one of New York’s largest not-for-profit theatre companies, mounted a revival in December 2006 with Kristin Chenoweth, Brian D'Arcy James in Alda's roles and Marc Kudisch in Blyden's. The reviews commonly said the musical too dated but Chenoweth's performance kept audiences coming. The revival of the Apple Tree came to a close March 11,2007.
