<p>Porchlight Music Theater began its ninth season of Chicago&#8217;s &#8220;lost&#8221; musicals series with Porchlight Revisites The Apple Tree, book and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, book and music by Jerry Bock with additional material by James Coopersmith.</p>
<p>Each of the three musical stories in The Apple Tree is directed by a different person, Frankie Leo Bennett+ (The Diary of Adam and Eve), Jamal Howard+ (The Lady or the Tiger?), and Laura Savage* (Passionella) with musical direction by David Fiorello+.</p>
<p>Porchlight Revisits The Apple Tree was presented for three performances only Wednesday, Dec.  7 at 7:30 pm and Thursday, Dec.  8 at 1:30 pm and 7:30 pm at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts, 1016 N. Dearborn Street.  Three-show discounted Porchlight Revisits subscriptions are available and single tickets to Porchlight Revisits</p>
<p>Now in its ninth season, Porchlight Revisits celebrates the rarely seen musical gems of Broadway, off-Broadway and beyond and is the ticket to go behind the scenes with an introduction to the luminaries who created the greatest musicals of all time and an opportunity to discover a new &#8216;old&#8217; favorite all in one big show.</p>
<p><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-668"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 under_first_paragraph under_first_paragraph668 adtester-container adtester-container-668" data-ez-name="broadwayworld_com-under_first_paragraph"><span id="div-gpt-ad-broadwayworld_com-under_first_paragraph-0" ezaw="300" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p>Chicago&#8217;s finest music theater talents dust off these treasures and escort audiences into the world of the art of music theater&#8217;s past for a limited run.  In addition to productions from days gone by, each Porchlight Revisits includes the Behind the Show Backstory, an entertaining and informative multimedia presentation, created and hosted by Artistic Director Michael Weber+, introducing the evening&#8217;s production including the show&#8217;s creative history, juicy backstage stories and much more.</p>
<p>The 2022 &#8211; 2023 Porchlight Revisits season begins with The Apple Tree from the songwriting team behind Fiddler on the Roof and She Loves Me. This witty, tuneful and charming piece that was Tony nominated for Best Musical is made up of three miniatures: The Diary of Adam and Eve, a quirky, touching spin on the tale of the world&#8217;s first couple, adapted from Mark Twain&#8217;s short stories;  The Lady or the Tiger?, a 1960&#8217;s rock and roll fable set in a mythical kingdom, which explores the fickleness of love and Passionella based on Jules Feiffer&#8217;s offbeat Cinderella story about a chimney sweep who dreams of being a &#8220;glamorous movie star.&#8221;</p>

<p>Additional Porchlight Revisits in the 2023 &#8211; 2023 season includes Porchlight Revisits I am a Camera, Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 7:30 pm and Thursday, Feb. 9 at 1:30 , a complement to Porchlight&#8217;s Mainstage Cabaret, this special event production is a rare opportunity to experience the remarkable 1951 play that became the inspiration for the musical Cabaret and Porchlight Revisits Two by Two, Wednesday, May 24 at 7:30 pm and Thursday, May 25 at 1:30 pm and 7:30 pm, with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Martin Charnin and book by Peter Stone based The Flowering Peach by Clifford Odets.  Porchlight Revisits Two by Two tells the story of Noah, the flood and its aftermath with touches of modern themes including the environment and the differences from generation to generation.</p>

<p><span style="color:#000">Porchlight Music Theater invited audiences to take another bite of musical theater history with Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick&#8217;s THE APPLE TREE.  The musical, composed of three one-acts centered on the theme of temptation, was the season opener for the Porchlight Revisits series.  As usual, Porchight Artistic Director Michael Weber introduced the show with a brief educational talk on THE APPLE TREE&#8217;s history.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000">THE APPLE TREE features a deft ensemble of nine actors, all who play various roles in each of the show&#8217;s three acts.  While the original production featured the same leads across all three pieces, Porchlight&#8217;s production puts different actors (and directors) front and center for each.  It&#8217;s a concept that works well, allowing the actors to take the lead in the roles most suited to their talents.  Frankie Leo Bennett directs THE DIARY OF ADAM AND EVE;  while it&#8217;s no fault of Benett&#8217;s, this is the most unoriginal and creaky of the three acts in THE APPLE TREE.  It&#8217;s a rather traditional play on the origin story of Adam and Eve, and of course, the infamous Snake that tempts Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.  While Jonah Cochin, Ciarra Stroud, and Susan Hofflander bring out the quirks in Bock and Harnick&#8217;s particular versions of Adam, Eve, and Snake, THE DIARY OF ADAM AND EVE meanders.  It&#8217;s also hard not to look at the gender roles in this one act as mostly dated and uninteresting.  In some moments, the one act seems ahead of its time, as when Stroud&#8217;s Eve is forced to laugh when Cochin&#8217;s Adam claims he has invented humor and tells her an extremely unfunny joke-ah, the origins of women laughing at men&#8217;s jokes just to get through the day.  Outside of moments like that, though, Bock and Harnick present a rather tired portrait of Adam as strong and adventurous, while Eve is a mother figure and caretaker.  The music for this act is pretty, and Stroud has a lovely, soaring tone, but it&#8217;s also not as distinctive as the score for the other two acts.</span></p>
<p><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-668"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 under_first_paragraph under_first_paragraph668 adtester-container adtester-container-668" data-ez-name="broadwayworld_com-under_first_paragraph"><span id="div-gpt-ad-broadwayworld_com-under_first_paragraph-0" ezaw="300" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000">After departing the Garden of Eden, we arrive at THE LADY OR THE TIGER?, directed and choreographed by Jamal Howard.  Musically, Bock and Harnick have given THE LADY OR THE TIGER?  a more specific style-musical theater aficionados will recognize the narrative stylings of Balladeer (Michael Mejia), who brings audiences into the show at the act&#8217;s start.  He queues up the story of the mighty King Arik (Hofflander, again displaying her comedic chops), who finds it just to have prisoners stand trial by standing before two doors.  Behind one door, there&#8217;s a tiger, who will devour the prisoner.  Behind the other, there&#8217;s a maiden from among the populace in the royal court-the prisoner will be freed but must marry her immediately.  Of course, Princess Barbara has fallen for a commoner, Captain Sanjar (Ruchir Khazanchi).  When King Arik discovers their forbidden love, he makes Sanjar stand the ultimate test.  Wanting to save her lover&#8217;s life, Princess Barbara finds out which door will be which at Sanjar&#8217;s trial.  But when she learns that a beautiful woman in court will stand behind one of the doors, she must decide if she wants to be selfish or selfless for her love.</span></p>
<p><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-669"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 under_second_paragraph under_second_paragraph669 adtester-container adtester-container-669" data-ez-name="broadwayworld_com-under_second_paragraph"><span id="div-gpt-ad-broadwayworld_com-under_second_paragraph-0" ezaw="336" ezah="280" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto!important;margin-right:auto!important;min-height:280px;min-width:336px" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000">THE LADY OR THE TIGER?  is a fantastic comedic vehicle for Maddison Denault as Princess Barbara.  She delivers the act&#8217;s comedic power ballads with verve.  While Khazanchi&#8217;s presence isn&#8217;t quite as formidable, he&#8217;s a great scene partner for Denault.  This is also a much more concise and lively one act as written than the previous one, and Howard&#8217;s direction and choreography keep it moving along at a brisk pace.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000">THE APPLE TREE concludes with PASSIONELLA, a riff on the classic Cinderella story centered on Ella-a poor chimney sweep who dreams of becoming a Hollywood movie star.  Directed and choreographed by Laura Savage, THE APPLE TREE saves the best for last.  PASSIONELLA is a delightful and exaggerated satire with jazz influences in the score.  And in Leah Morrow, Porchlight has cast a total star in the dual roles of Ella/Passionella.  Morrow seems born to play this part;  she&#8217;s an outsized comedic actor who also maintains the absolute truth of her character-and she&#8217;s also one of the strongest singers in the ensemble.  Morrow also plays terrifically off Emma Rosenthal in the role of the Narrator and Fairy Godmother.  Rosenthal taps into the Narrator&#8217;s dry sense of humor, and her more understated presence is a great contrast to Morrow&#8217;s overly dramatic Ella.  Of the three acts in THE APPLE TREE, PASSIONELLA as written has the strongest sense of style, place, and narrative;  it&#8217;s fitting that Bock and Harnick would end with the act tied most specifically to the moment in which they wrote the show.</span></p>
<p><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-670"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 mid_content mid_content670 adtester-container adtester-container-670" data-ez-name="broadwayworld_com-mid_content"><span id="div-gpt-ad-broadwayworld_com-mid_content-0" ezaw="300" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000">Because certain elements are dated and others are tied specifically to the 1960s, it makes complete sense that Porchlight Revisits would showcase THE APPLE TREE-it&#8217;s not a musical that&#8217;s likely to be revived any time soon.  It displays Bock and Harnick&#8217;s talents as a composer/lyricist team, though, and the intelligence of using the theme of temptation-and the powerful notion that getting everything you ever wanted rarely looks like how you think it will-into each of the three acts .</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000">While I didn&#8217;t care much for the material in THE DIARY OF ADAM AND EVE, I also deeply appreciate that Bock and Harnick pulled temptation and longing into the other acts as the narrative thread-rather than making this a musical all about Bible stories.  That&#8217;s a much more interesting, universal, and human idea, and it justifies THE APPLE TREE&#8217;s spot in the Porchlight Revisits series.</span></p>

Saison angekündigt, die die Spielzeiten 2021-2022 Mainstage, Porchlight Revisits und New Faces Sing Broadway umfasst.

<p>&#8220;Aufgewachsen in Waynesboro, Virginia (einer kleinen Stadt am Highway 81), habe ich eine ganz andere Beziehung zu Pump Boys und Dinettes. Die Verbindung von Gemeinschaft und Werten trifft mich wirklich. Heute haben sich die Zeiten geändert und die Menschen haben sich verändert, aber nicht das Gemeinschaftsgefühl&#8221;, sagte Daryl Brooks+, Direktor von Pump Boys &#038; Dinettes.  „Als Porchlight mich bat, bei Pump Boys Regie zu führen, wurde mir klar, dass es an der Zeit war, die Vielfalt nicht nur in den Leuten, sondern auch in der Musik zu zeigen! Diese Show wird auf Schritt und Tritt ein Stück Trost und Aufregung sein, genau wie ein Stück von der Zitronen-Baiser-Torte meiner Oma!&#8221;</p>

<p>Blues in the Night Regisseur/Choreograph Kenny Ingram+ sprach über die Produktion von 2022 und sagte: „Ich bin dankbar, mit Porchlight Music Theatre als Regisseur/Choreograph von Blues in the Night zusammenzuarbeiten.

Es gibt diese 23-Uhr-Seite, wenn du deine Hände hochwerfen, schreien und eine Lektion lernen willst, und dann die 4-Uhr-Seite, wenn dich die Wahrheit so sehr trifft, dass du dich fast nicht bewegen kannst und du vielleicht nur noch weinen willst. Wir möchten, dass das Publikum all diese Emotionen spürt und es herausfinden lässt, auf welcher Seite der Nacht sie stehen?“</p>
<p>&#8220;Es ist immer eine Freude, wieder in meinem künstlerischen Zuhause, dem Porchlight Music Theatre, zu sein&#8221;, sagte die Direktorin von Spring Awakening, Brenda Didier*.  „Besonders toll finde ich, dass Spring Awakening im Frühling, einer Zeit der Wiedergeburt und Entdeckung, uraufgeführt wird. Spring Awakening ist seit seinem Debüt im 19. Jahrhundert ein wichtiges Werk und hat als brillantes Musiktheater seine eigene Wiedergeburt erfahren. Ich kann es kaum erwarten die vielen Fans und das neue Publikum der Show, um unsere Interpretation ihrer kraftvollen Musik und Themen zu erleben.&#8221;</p>
