New York: The first preview of The Roundabout Theatre Company's production of The Apple Tree has been delayed because Kristin Chenoweth was injured during a technical rehearsal. Previews will now begin on the 29th. The actress fell off an elevated section of the stage during a rehearsal over the weekend. Despite the injury she continued to rehearse and sought medical attention afterwards. She is committed to performing in the show on Wednesday.
Anyone holding tickets for the 28th preview can contact Roundabout Tickets Services at 212-719-1300 to reschedule.
Starring in the three part musical is Kristin Chenoweth as Eve, Princess Barbara, and Ella; Brian d'Arcy James as Adam, Sanjar, and Flip; Marc Kudisch as Snake; and Walter Charles as King Aril, Employer, and Producer.
The ensemble features Meggie Nicole Cansler, Julie Connors, Sarah Jane Everman, Jennifer Taylor Farrell, Justin Keyes, Lorin Lataro, Mike McGowan, Sean Palmer, Dennis Stowe, and Eric Santagata.
The production is set for a limited run through March 11, 2007.
The Apple Tree features music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and a book by Bock and Harnick. The musical is based on The Diary of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain, The Lady of the Tiger? by Frank R. Stockton, and Passionella by Jules Feiffer which features additional book material by Jerome Coopersmith.
The creative team includes direction by Gary Griffin, set design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by Jess Goldstein, lighting design by Donald Holder, and sound design by Dan Moses Schreier.
The musical, billed as "a unique evening of three one-act musicals about men, women and a little thing called temptation," premiered on Broadway on October 18, 1966 at the Shubert Theater starring Alan Alda and Barbara Harris with direction by Mike Nichols. This version is based on the the 2005 Encores! production of the musical which co-starred Malcolm Gets and Michael Cerveris.
