The Apple Tree
Book, Music and Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock
Directed by Alexander Berlage
Presented by Neglected Musicals
From the songwriting team behind Fiddler on the Roof and She Loves Me comes a long loved Neglected Musical.
The Apple Tree is made up of three musical miniatures. The Diary of Adam and Eve is a quirky, touching spin on the tale of the world’s first couple, adapted from Mark Twain’s Extracts from Adam’s Diary. The Lady or the Tiger? is a rock and roll fable set in a mythical barbarian kingdom, which explores the fickleness of love. Passionella is based on Jules Feiffer’s offbeat Cinderella-story about a chimney sweep whose dreams of being a glamorous movie star nearly sabotage her one chance for true love.
Neglected Musicals is a theatre initiative dedicated to presenting musical theatre that has never (or rarely) been seen in Australia. The musicals are presented with scripts in hand, and with piano accompaniment after only a day’s rehearsal. There have been 28 Neglected Musicals presentation since 2010.
