Beijing Playhouse Presents I DO! I DO! 5/14 - 23

Beijing Playhouse, China's largest locally produced English Broadway theatre, will present the Broadway musical I Do! I Do! from May 14th to the 23rd. I Do! I Do! will be performed in English with Chinese subtitles at Goose and Duck and various venues in Beijing.

Nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Composer and Lyricist, I Do! I Do! is a Broadway musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, the same team that produced the longest-running production in the history of the American stage, The Fantasticks.

I Do! I Do!, which spans fifty years, focuses on trials and tribulations, laughter and sorrows, hopes and disappointments as experienced by a couple, Agnes (Ruth Novales) and Michael (Brandon B. Blackburn-Dwyer). The couple weathers wedding jitters, a new house, raising a family, sexual tension, midlife crises, quarrels, separation, reconciliation, and growing old together. It includes the popular songs "Together Forever" and "My Cup Runneth Over with Love."

I Do! I Do! will perform on Thursday, Friday and Saturday with 7:30 PM evening performances  and Sunday 2 PM matinee performances. 160 RMB in advance and 200 RMB at the door. Children and students half price. Email performance@beijingplayhouse.com or call 137 1890 8922 to order tickets.

Beijing Playhouse, China's English Broadway theatre, specializes in traditional Broadway favorites like Guys and Dolls, The Odd Couple, and A Christmas Carol. Beijing Playhouse shows have subtitles, painstakingly created, to preserve the artistic beauty of the show and at the same time to make the shows accessible to a non-English speaking Chinese audience-to introduce a Chinese audience to English theatre.
