This funny, tuneful musical about the joy and tribulations of marriage was originally produced on Broadway starting Mary Martin and Robert Preston, who won a Tony Award for his performance. Remounted in 1996 with updated lyrics and music, I DO! I DO! has always been adored. New York Magazine stated "The score is a delight from top to bottom," and the Associated Press describes it as "Nothing but sheer pleasure. Yes, yes, pleasure all the way. A Dazzler. Beguiling."
