About The Baker's Wife
See this charming musical about bread, love, and a famous meadowlark. With a gorgeous score by theatre legend Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Godspell) and a heartwarming and hilarious book by Joseph Stein (Fiddler on the Roof, Zorba), The Baker's Wife musical is a storied show that has never come to Broadway but now returns to New York City.
The Baker's Wife off Broadway features beloved songs including "Meadowlark," "Proud Lady," "Where Is the Warmth?" and "Chanson" in this show about a small town with big drama. A new baker, and his much younger wife, arrive in a provincial French village, turning it upside down.
Genevieve is a beautiful young woman looking for a fresh start in her new village, but when she arrives with the much older Aimable, she quickly catches everyone's eye and curiosity, especially Dominique's. That local heartthrob whisks her off her feet, and after she flees town with him, the village unravels: its talented baker has lost his will to cook, and neighbors will do anything to bring his legendary bread back.
A rumination on love, forgiveness, and how a couple, and community, navigate change, The Baker's Wife is a fan-favorite musical but one that has rarely performed in New York City. After a failed out-of-town tryout decades ago that starred Patti LuPone as the baker's wife, the musical gained a cult following. Based on the French film of the same name, the musical went on to earn an Olivier Award nomination for Best New Musical in London.
New Yorkers can now see this new production, coming to Classic Stage Company for its 2025/26 season and directed by Gordon Greenberg.
