Light Opera Presents I DO! I DO!, Opens 10/8

From Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, the creators of the American musical theater phenomenon THE FANTASTICKS, I DO! I DO! follows newlyweds Michael and Agnes from the day of their wedding through their life together, from 1900 to 1950, as the couple experiences wedding night jitters, raises a family, negotiates mid-life crises, quarrels, separates, reconciles and grows old together. The score includes "Together Forever," "When the Kids Get Married" and "My Cup Runneth Over."

I DO! I DO! is directed and choreographed by Light Opera Works' artistic director Rudy Hogenmiller, with music direction by Roger L. Bingaman and Linda Slein.

Cast in I DO! I DO! are Catherine Lord (Agnes) and Larry Adams (Michael), reunited after their pairing in Light Opera Works' 2009 A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.

Veness (Scenic Design), Darcy Hofer (Costume Design), Charles Jolls (Lighting Design), Miles Polaski (Sound Design), Sienna Macedon (Hair and Make-Up Design), Mealah Heidenreich and Deborah Lindell (Properties Design), Rachel Levine (Stage Manager), and Paige Keedy (Production Manager).
