Scott Bakula to Star in 'The Baker's Wife' Off Broadway
Imagine a small French village where a baker and his wife live.
They bring fresh bread and also cause some gossip.
This fall, a musical called 'The Baker's Wife' is coming to New York, with actors Scott Bakula and Ariana DeBose.
It's based on an older story about love and what happens when people's hearts wander.
The show's songs include the famous 'Meadowlark.'
The play was first made many years ago, but it had some problems.
Now, it's being brought back for everyone to enjoy.
