Photo Flash: Sneak Peek at I DO! I DO!, Opening This Month at TheatreWorks New Milford

On Friday, September 22, TheatreWorks New Milford will premiere I Do! I Do!, a musical with book by Tom Jones (The Fantasticks) and music by Harvey Schmidt. I Do! I Do! is based on the Jan De Hartog play The Fourposter and the original Broadway production received seven Tony Award nominations. The curtain goes up at 8:00 p.m. on a four-week run with an opening night wedding cake and champagne after the show. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the stars below!

The show begins in 1895 with Michael and Agnes on their wedding day. Their vows behind them, they look forward to spending the rest of their lives together. We watch as they go through their wedding night jitters, raise a family and negotiate midlife crises. Michael eventually admits to his infidelity, and, although Agnes is angered by his actions, she forgives him and the couple reconciles. They rediscover how much they really need each other.

This production is under the direction of Brad Blake with musical direction by Charles Smith and features two of the area's most talented actors, Carey Van Hollen and JoNathan Jacobson.
