The Baker's Wife


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

Two Acts, Book Musical, Rated PG
1993 Revision

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 the films "Pocahontas," "The Hunchback Of Notre Dame" and "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.
