The Cast of The Baker’s Wife Share Their Favorite Pastries

At the heart of The Baker’s Wife lies a love of community, connection, and of course, baked goods. So when we caught up with the cast, we had to ask one delicious question: what’s your favorite pastry?

The answers were as varied and charming as the show itself. From the timeless croissant and buttery pain au chocolat to sweet baklava and tangy lemon danish, every response celebrated the joy of something warm and fresh from the boulangerie. Some cast members went classic with oatmeal raisin cookies or a simple cheese danish, while others leaned toward the savory side with ham and cheese croissants and spanakopita.

One thing was clear: this cast knows their pastries. As Kevin William Paul put it best, “All of the things from the boulangerie. Magnifique.”

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,” to life 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.
