Choose options
The short-lived 1970 Broadway musical comedy 'The Candyapple' opened at the historic Edison Theatre with an inventive, pop-fused score by John Bowles and a witty book and lyrics by dramatic writer John Grimaldi. The fast-paced farcical plot centers on a deeply conventional, middle-class Catholic family from New Jersey whose quiet domestic life is turned upside down when their son brings home an eccentric, free-spirited troupe of Greenwich Village beatnik actors. Directed by Danny Coleman, the production remains a top-tier rarity in the history of lost 1970s stage properties.
