Hawthorne Players: The Baker's Wife
The bickering residents of a rural village in 1935 Provence, France, have been without a baker for seven weeks. They finally find peace and contentment in the new baker, Aimable, and his attractive young wife, Genevieve. However, when Genevieve is lured away by a handsome young gigolo, the middle-aged baker loses all zest for life and baking. When he refuses to bake, the villagers must work as a team to bring Aimable and Genevieve back together. This romantic musical by Joseph Stein (Fiddler on the Roof) and Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Wicked, Pippin) features old-world charm and a lush score.
