What Makes This Special

I DO! I DO! is a charming, intimate musical following Michael and Agnes through fifty years of marriage. With music by Harvey Schmidt and book and lyrics by Tom Jones, this two-person show captures the full spectrum of a life shared together — the laughter, the tears, the heartache, and the enduring power of love.

It's live theatre at its most human. You won't find this on a screen. When the lights go down, you're part of something immediate, present, and unforgettable.
