REDEFINING THE PAST. REWRITING THE FUTURE.

“Theater is always evolving. Lost works are rediscovered, familiar forms are reimagined, and bold new voices are redefining what a classic can be. This season isn’t about looking back. It’s about looking deeper, and you’re invited to join the journey. A long-awaited musical brought back to life. A legend’s journey through silence and shadow. A playwright’s unfinished masterpiece, finally complete. These stories awaken the past with fresh urgency—and prove that great theater always speaks to you.”

THE BAKER’S WIFE

Book by JOSEPH STEIN

Music & Lyrics by STEPHEN SCHWARTZ

Based on the film La Femme du Boulanger                            by Marcel Pagnol and Jean Giono 

Directed by GORDON GREENBERG 

In a quiet French village, a baker and his wife bring fresh bread…and fresh gossip. But when temptation stirs and hearts wander, the whole town gets caught up in a swirl of romance, mischief, and melody. The Baker’s Wife brings Stephen Schwartz’s soaring score, including the iconic “Meadowlark,” in its first major New York appearance. Sweet, surprising, and full of heart, this long-awaited production celebrates love in all its perfectly imperfect recipes. 

Presented by special arrangement with the Menier Chocolate Factory (David Babani, Artistic Director) and Creative Partners Productions. 

This production of THE BAKER’S WIFE was licensed by Music Theatre International (www.mtishows.com).

FEBRUARY – MARCH 2026

MARCEL ON THE TRAIN

Co-written by ETHAN SLATER & MARSHALL PAILET 

Directed by MARSHALL PAILET 

Starring ETHAN SLATER as Marcel Marceau 

History remembers Marcel Marceau as the world’s greatest mime. But before the spotlight, he was a young man in Nazi-occupied France, guiding Jewish children to safety with nothing but courage and imagination. In the shadows of World War II, Marcel on the Train reveals the man behind the invisible mask. Co-written by and starring Tony Award® nominee Ethan Slater (SpongeBob SquarePants, Wicked), this inventive new play shows us how, sometimes, the loudest resistance begins in the most quiet places. 

Presented by special arrangement with Mix and Match Productions (Maxwell Beer and Mitch Marois).
