Director: George Puello
Musical Director: Howard Kilik

Old world charm permeates every moment of this bittersweet, wise and gently offbeat fable of life, love and bread by Joseph Stein (“Fiddler On The Roof”) and Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell,” “Pippin,” “Children of Eden” and films “Pocahontas,” “The Hunchback Of Notre Dame” & “The Prince Of Egypt”).

The bickering residents of a small Provencal town at last find peace and contentment in the heavenly bread of the newly arrived baker and his attractive young wife, but when she is lured away by the attentions of a handsome young gigolo, the middle-aged baker loses all zest for life and baking, throwing the community into chaos.

Based on a film by Marcel Pagnol and Jean Giono, “The Baker’s Wife” stirs with the quiet sophistication of the European cinema. Schwartz is at his romantic best in this rich, melodic, French inflected score containing ballads of breathtaking beauty, spirited comic numbers for the townspeople and the showstopping “Meadowlark.” The show features a tight ensemble of townsfolk, which is at the core of the drama, offering a plethora of memorable secondary roles.

Book by: Joseph Stein  Lyrics and Music by: Stephen Schwartz
 
Based on the film La Femme de Boulanger by Marcel Pagnol and Jean Giono www.MTIShows.com
