I Do! I Do! December 11, 2009

The story of Michael and Agnes and their 50 years of marriage famously takes place around a large four-poster bed and introduced the standard, “My Cup Runneth Over.” Written as a star vehicle for theater legends Mary Martin and Robert Preston by the creators of The Fantasticks, the original Broadway production of I Do! I Do! received seven Tony Award nominations, with Preston winning Best Actor. Since then, such luminaries as Carol Lawrence and Robert Goulet, and Carol Burnett and Rock Hudson have enjoyed success in the musical two-hander. And now the Globe’s “cup runneth over” as Paige Davis (television’s “Trading Spaces” and Broadway’s Chicago) and Patrick Page (The Globe’s Cyrano De Bergerac and Broadway’s The Lion King) take their turn at this funny and heartwarming musical about the joy, struggles, humor and passion that is every marriage.
