Everything I Remembered - Reviewed on 2008-10-01

I was in this show over 20 years ago and had at that time only heard the LP!!! The quality of the recording coupled with my memories of the show made the purchase totally worth my while. It was everything I remembered.

I came across this looking for Alan Alda stuff for my mom, and thought I'd give it a go, being a broadway buff. No, it's not Les Miz, it's songs are much less orgasmically dramatic than that. But then again, who wants to listen to one Miz copycat after another? These songs are all about the harmonies of the voices. Barbara Harris and Alan Alda have surprising range. The songs are those that make it seem possible for spontaneous singing to exist in the real world. There's also a knowing humor, especially in Larry Blyden's performances; the actors are all obviously having a good time. Anyway, give it a shot. I'm glad I did.

Very good show which I hadn't heard of... - Reviewed on 2007-05-13

I was very into theatre in high school and college and thought I was up on most musicals, but had never heard of this show until recently. It's comprised of three short stories which were adapted into the musical format. The first two stories are tied together very well, although the last seems tacked on. But the songs are catchy and it's fairly easy to figure out what's happening simply by listening to the songs. There are two songs which are tied for my favoritism: "It's a Fish" from Adam and Eve and "You Are Not Real" from Passionella. Check it out.

IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. I WENT TO THE REVIVAL OF THE APPLE TREE ON BROADWAY IN NEW YORK CITY AND LOVED THE SCORE BUT THERE WASN'T A SOUNDTRACK AVAILABLE SO I PURCHASED THE ORIGINAL VERSION AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

I still remember these songs after 40 years - Reviewed on 2006-11-05

I saw this show on the stage when it first ran, and have never forgotten it. The key to a good Broadway show is this question: Are you humming the songs when you leave the theatre? In the case of The Apple Tree, the answer is a resounding "Yes." I have been waiting 40 years for this show to be revived, and I have tickets for the revival opening in December at the Roundabout. I hope not to be disappointed, for the trio of Barbara Harris, a very young Alan Alda, and the late Larry Blyden were terrific. The three-part concept can be jarring because just when you're getting into the story, it ends -- but just enjoy the kind of songs they just don't write anymore.
