Love and marriage may go together “like a horse and carriage,” but the journey on the road of life is both bitter AND sweet in this wonderful musical. Written by the team that created The Fantasticks, you’ll be charmed by this thoroughly engaging two-person musical that relates the story of a marriage. Agnes and Michael, the married couple, sing their way through a 50-year marriage. Through songs both lilting and lovely, I Do! I Do! chronicles the milestones of a marriage: the nervous jitters on a wedding day, the challenges of raising a family, the frustrations of lovers’ quarrels, the mid-life crises of various stripes, separations, reconciliations, retirement – all the way up to Agnes and Michael selling their home to the succeeding pair of newlyweds.
