A brand new episode of On the Record with Mary Malaney is out now! Click the video above to watch now!
Each week Mary will be sharing some of her favorite musicals from her record collection! Tune in each Thursday to find out what she will share next!
This week’s episode is….The Apple Tree! Did you know?
- The Apple Tree opened on Broadway on October 18, 1966 at the Shubert Theatre and ran for 463 performances, closing on November 25, 1967.
- It starred Barbara Harris, Alan Alda, and Larry Blyden. Robert Klein was among the ensemble members. Harris won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical.
- The Apple Tree is a series of three musical playlets with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and a book by Bock and Harnick with contributions from Jerome Coopersmith. Each act has its own storyline, but all three are tied together by a common theme (someone who believes that they want something, but once they get what they wanted they realize that it wasn’t what they wanted) and common references, such as references to the color brown.
- The Roundabout Theatre Company mounted a revival that ran from December 14, 2006 until March 11, 2007 at Studio 54 with Kristin Chenoweth in Harris’ roles, Brian D’Arcy James in Alda’s roles, Marc Kudisch in Blyden’s and Alda’s recorded voice portraying God.
- It ran for 18 previews and 99 regular shows for a total of 117 performances.
Stay tuned for next week’s episode!
