There will be a special Sunday evening performance of the show on January 21st at 7:30 PM, after which the show will perform under its regular schedule.

Directed by Kathleen Marshall and featuring musical direction by Andrew Lippa, Chenoweth's "Live at the Met" show will be performed at the Metropolitan Opera on January 19th.

The Apple Tree, which opened at Studio 54 on December 14th, also stars Brian d'Arcy James and Marc Kudisch. The show, with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and book by Bock and Harnick, features direction by Gary Griffin, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision by Rob Fisher.

"From the songwriting team of She Loves Me and Fiddler On The Roof comes a unique evening of three one-act musicals about men, women and a little thing called temptation.  The Apple Tree is based on "The Diary of Adam and Eve" by Mark Twain; "The Lady or the Tiger?" by Frank R. Stockton; and "Passionella" by Jules Feiffer, with additional book material by Jerome Coopersmith," state press notes.

The production of the 1966 musical is based on the acclaimed 2005 New York City Center Encores! revival of The Apple Tree staring Chenoweth and directed by Griffin. 

Chenoweth, who was nominated for a Tony for her performance as Glinda in Wicked and who won for her Sally Brown in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, plays the roles of Eve, Barbara and Passionella in The Apple Tree.  She has also been seen in Scapin, A New Brain, Steel Pier, Epic Proportions, in the Lincoln Center concert production of Candide, and the Encores! productions of Strike Up the Band, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever and The Apple Tree. "As I Am" and "Let Yourself Go" are her two solo CDs. She also played Annabeth Schott on TV's "The West Wing."  Film credits include Running with Scissors, Stranger Than Fiction, Deck the Halls, R.V., Bewitched, and The Pink Panther.
