Based on a quirky little 1930s French movie, The Baker’s Wife has often struggled to find its stride on the stage. The latest adaptation, however, has managed to strike the right notes with a perfect balance between nuanced sentimentality and whimsical humor. This is no easy feat with a story that revolves around romance, heartbreak, and scandal in a sleepy provincial town. Yet this production breathes new life into this tale and makes for an enchanting watch.
“This Stephen Schwartz curio comes to vivid life in a beautifully judged revival that’s equal parts goofy and yearning.”
“The Baker’s Wife has had a rocky road – it never made it to Broadway, and only had a short West End run in 1989 – but its whimsical charms are beautifully showcased in this intimate Menier production.”
“American director Gordon Greenberg gets the balance between lush romanticism and wry humour mostly right… overlaying it with heartbreak, sultry atmospherics and an unmistakable erotic charge.”
