I Do! I Do!

I Do! I Do! - - A Musical About Marriage.
In the mood for a cutesy musical about marriage? If so, head on over to the campus of Lenoir-Rhyne University. This properly titled show opened yesterday and will run through Sunday.

Summary of the Show
I Do! I Do!'s script and lyrics were written by Tom Jones and music by Harvey Schmidt. It was based on the Jan de Hartog play The Fourposter. Through 50 years of marriage you'll follow Michael and Agnes. You'll witness their marriage vows, their first night together, their first child, and second child, their heartbreaks, their makeups, their children's weddings, and even them getting old. They'll make you laugh, make you cry, and even make you angry. In this couple you'll see bits of yourself and others you know. There are some songs you may recognize too, like My Cup Runneth Over, Flaming Agnes, I Love My Wife, and Where Are The Snows.
