[Review] Crunch
You are welcomed to Crunch by a sweet guitarist enquiring to your health and if the audience had fruit for breakfast? Enter the apple.
Then there’s the Adam and Eve apple, the Newton apple, an apple Jack called John, Wilhelm Tell and Snow white. There are songs, some funnier than others, and funny lines: “can’t tell Wilhelm Tell from Adam”, and this you have to see to get, but somehow “I’ve got an apple on my head” works a treat too.
All along Adam and Eve is trying to replace the apple Eve ate and the audiences tuning into a plethora of accents – a handful for the dwarfs alone. Of the four actors at play it’s clear the guitarist/God/apple Jack/Austrian vice-regent Gessler/a mirror image and the snake/Newton/Wilhelm Tell/evil queen are the two stronger, but they all do a fair bit of hamming it up – it is revue after all - to a hilarious outcome for anyone into revue/musical/theatre….and sometimes there’s an apple for you too.
