Weathervane Playhouse Opens 73rd Season

with a charming musical scrapbook!

I DO! I DO!

Don't miss Weathervane's 2007-2008 season-opener I DO! I DO!, the =
charming musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt (the writers of The =
Fantasticks!). I DO! I DO! will take the stage September 5 through =
September 23 for 12 performances.

Based on Jan de Hartog's The Fourposter, I DO! I DO! , has just two =
characters, Michael and Agnes, an upper-class couple who marry in 1898. =
We follow them through the next 50 years in a musical scrapbook of warm, =
funny, whimsical, poignant and otherwise adorable songs.

Michael writes women's romance novels. He can be self-deprecating, but =
we know he takes himself pretty seriously. He is hardly a thoughtful or =
sensitive husband, but he is devoted to Agnes.

As for Agnes, she occasionally hints at revolt from the conventions that =
restrict her but, ultimately, she is content to be a forgiving wife. The =
show's best-known song, My Cup Runneth Over, makes a beautiful cap to an =
argument.

Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt became friends in 1950 while they were =
students at the University of Texas. The two arrived in New York in =
1955. Together they wrote reviews for a celebrated Manhattan supper club =
and several of their songs were recorded in a record-album called =
Demi-Dozen. The Fantasticks brought the pair to the attention of =
prolific Broadway producer David Merrick, who commissioned them to write =
the songs for a version of N. Richard Nash's play, The Rainmaker. This =
was called 110 in the Shade. Their next joint effort was to write the =
book, lyrics and music for I Do! I Do!=20
