In that time we watch them go through their wedding night jitters, raise a family, negotiate mid-life crises, quarrel, separate, reconcile and grow old together, all lovingly to the strains of a tuneful, charming score which includes the standard "My Cup Runneth Over." ”I Do! I Do!” is as universal as marriage itself, and far easier to mount! In addition to its minimal set and flexible orchestra size (from two pianos to full orchestra), the show boasts the smallest cast ever for a Broadway musical: two larger-than-life star roles, and no one else. “I Do! I Do!” delivers Broadway quality and universal appeal with minimal production requirements. Opened 12/5/1966 Ran for 560 performances. At once amusing, astonishingly touching and truly endearing" - New York Post "A love duet to a happy marriage." - Life Magazine "A happy show, generous with charm and lavish with love." - New York World Journal Tribune CastMichael played by Ashley Richards
