The Apple Tree


Book by  Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick and Jerome Coopersmith
Music by  Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick
Lyrics by  Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick
Based on stories by Mark Twain, Frank R. Stockton and Jules Feiffer

Three or More Acts, Book Musical, Rated PG
Original Broadway version

From the songwriting team of "Fiddler On The Roof" and "She Loves Me" comes a unique evening of three one-act musicals about men, women and a little thing called temptation. The first, "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 second, "The Lady Or The Tiger?," explores the fickleness of love in a rock and roll fable set in a mythical barbarian kingdom. Finally, "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.
