The Baker’s Wife

This is one of the hidden gems of modern musical theatre. It tells the tale of a French Provincial village and its inhabitants whose passion for bread is surpassed only by their passion for gossip and arguing with their spouses. When a new Baker arrives with his beautiful and MUCH younger wife, it sends the town into a frenzy of salivation over his delectable confections and speculation about his strange relationship. Ultimately a tale about love and marriage, The Baker’s Wife features a clever and quirky score, well-developed supporting characters and universal themes about passion, compassion and community.
