Barbara Harris and a sparkling Bock-Harnick score:
THE APPLE TREE earned Barbara Harris a well-deserved Tony Award, and also featured acclaimed turns by Alan Alda and Larry Blyden (FLOWER DRUM SONG). The score by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, SHE LOVES ME) is a real delight. Barbara Harris, who had charmed Broadway audiences the previous year in ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER, proved that lightning can strike twice with this ambitious musical, essentially three mini-musicals broken up by Intermission's. The three musicals are 'The Diary of Adam and Eve', 'The Lady or the Tiger?', and 'Passionella', the latter of which is generally regarded as the best of the three, and the main reason why Harris snagged the Tony. 'Passionella' is a unique spin on the Cinderella story. It concerns Ella, a chimney sweep who wishes to be a movie star. In probably the score's best-known song, Ella fantasises about being "A Movie Star", preferably one that is "Gorgeous". Other great songs in the score include "Here in Eden", "Forbidden Love", "Eve", "I've Got What You Want" and "What Makes Me Love Him?". Highly-recommended. \oSONY SK 48209\c
