Crunch is one of those shows that gets wildly praised in Edinburgh and then, on arrival here, makes everyone wonder what the fuss was about.
There's a certain zany charm to Daniel Goldman's story of Adam and Eve working in the Fruit Naming Department of Eden Enterprises, but also a rather desperate sense of oddly bewigged actors going bonkers on daytime television educational programmes.
A and E take a quick trip, with songs, through some of the apple's starring moments in history - Newton, William Tell and, er, Snow White - although it's hard to escape the sense that a decent idea has turned into an uninspiring rumble in the crumble.
Mojo Mickybo, until 14 April (020 7503 1646). Crunch, until 14 April, then at Croydon Warehouse (0870 060 1742).
