I DO! I DO! at OZARK ACTORS THEATRE

The story of a marriage is at the center of I Do! I Do!, an intimate and nostalgic work by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones (The Fantasticks). Written as a star vehicle for theatre legends, Mary Martin and Robert Preston, the original Broadway production received seven Tony Award nominations.

            The show begins 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. Then, after 50 years of marriage, the couple leaves their house to the next pair of newlyweds. This production contains adult themes and is rated PG.       

            The cast stars Larissa Klinger as Agnes and Dan Fenaughty as Michael. Audiences will remember Larissa’s and Dan’s performances in OAT’s production of Damn Yankees last summer where they played Lola and Mr. Applegate, respectively. This real life married couple has returned for this touching story of two soul mates navigating the perils of life set to a tuneful, charming score.
