WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Encores! presents The Apple Tree, starring Kristen Chenoweth. Featuring music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and a book by Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Jerome Coopersmith.
The Apple Tree is a unique evening of three one-act musicals about men, women and a little thing called temptation from the songwriting team of Fiddler On The Roof and She Loves Me. The first one-act based on Mark Twain's "The Diary Of Adam and Eve" is a quirky, touching spin on the tale of the world's first couple. The second, "The Lady Or The Tiger?," explores the fickleness of love in a 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. Notable songs include "What Makes Me Love Him?," "Go To Sleep Whatever You Are," and "Oh, To Be A Movie Star."

George Balanchine famously said that "Ballet is woman." If he'd thought more about it, the iconic choreographer -- who sometimes worked on Broadway -- could also have said that "Musical comedy is woman." He might not have said it through most of this year, when rewarding roles for men in tuners were unusually plentiful -- so much so that the Tony Award nominations left some worthy males out in the cold while a bit of stretching was done for the females. But he would now shout the phrase gladly after seeing what Kristin Chenoweth is doing in the Encores! version of the three Sheldon Harnick-Jerry Bock-Jerome Coopersmith one-acts that make up The Apple Tree.
Truly, Chenoweth has it all. Sh[...]
