From the songwriting team behind Fiddler on the Roof and She Loves Me  comes a long loved Neglected Musical The Apple Tree.

 

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.
