In Gilded Age New York, Coney Island is exploding with colorful characters, sideshow acts, and brand new hotdog recipes. But when Johnny Appleseed's grandson Jack, and his working-class pals, discover that an unscrupulous landlord has designs on the family orchard, they'll have to band together to raise the money in time. Their foolproof get-rich-quick scheme? Taking top prize in the turn-of-the-century's biggest singing competition, of course. The Apple Boys is a pitch-perfect New York story about harmony, friendship, and the little dreams that live in the Big Apple.

The creative team for The Apple Boys also includes Adam Koch (scenic design), Johanna Pann (costume design), Rui Rita (lighting designer), Alex Neumann (sound design), Rona Siddiqui (music supervisor), Matt Gallagher (vocal arrangements), and Jason Styres (casting director). Evan Bernardin Productions serves as general manager. The Apple Boys is produced by Johnnie Hawkins, LaChanze , Larry Bomback, and AJ Epstein .
