The Baker`s Wife at the Menier Chocolate Factory

The show will play from 6 July to 14 September 2024

The arrival of a new Baker and his younger wife turns a provincial French village upside down in this cult classic musical from the legendary Stephen Schwartz (composer of Godspell, Wicked, Pippin) and Joseph Stein (writer of Fiddler On The Roof).

Based on the film La Femme du Boulanger by Marcel Pagnol and Jean Giono, The Baker’s Wife is filled with some of Schwartz’s most ravishingly beautiful music and will immerse the audience into the world of Gallic charm in this first major UK revival since its West End premiere.

Directed by Gordon Greenberg (who previously directed Barnum at the Chocolate Factory), with choreography by Matt Cole (Olivier award winner for Newsies) and designs by Paul Farnsworth, this brand new production plays for a limited 10-week season from 6 July.

The cast is yet to be announced.
