50 Years of Marriage Begins in "I Do! I Do!"

This little gem of story was the first two-person musical ever performed on Broadway starring Mary Martin and Robert Preston, written by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, the creative duo behind The Fantasticks and 110 In the Shade.  Couples are sure to engage with this intimate, nostalgic look at a happy marriage which is "lavish with love". 

This endearing production is a remarkably intimate, romantic piece.  We are invited into the bedroom of newlyweds Michael & Agnes who anticipate a wonderful blissful life…"Together Forever" as one of the early musical selections would have us believe.  As we all know, reality sets in as the young couple struggle to maintain their happiness, passion, devotion and yes even a sense of humor, through all the joys, pains, trials and tribulations that they share in their 50 years of marriage.  We observe two ordinary people as they grow in love with each other, aging right in front of us.  Ultimately we can search the eyes of our own partner an collectively say, "We Do! We Do!"

The best way to describe this story is through the titles of the songs. "I Love My Wife", Something Has Happened", Love Isn't Everything", "Flaming Agnes", The Honeymoon Is Over", "My Cup Runneth Over", "When the Kids Get Married ", What Is A Woman?", "Some One Needs Me", "Roll Up the Ribbons" and "This House".
