Old world charm permeates every moment of THE BAKER’S WIFE, a gently bittersweet and offbeat fable of life, love and bread by Joseph Stein and Stephen Schwartz.

Set in a rural village of Provence, France in 1935, the musical is truly an ensemble piece filled with intriguing characters. The musical focuses in on the marriage of the newly arrived baker, Aimable Castignet and his very young wife, Genvieve. When Dominique, a handsome man with a pension for passion and romance, seduces Genevieve, the entire town ends up in crisis. Through the lens of the baker’s marriage, each of the villagers reconsiders their own marriage, partnerships, feuds, and lives hoping to live happier ever after.
