  For those of you who absolutely have no clue, "I Do I Do" is a musical comedy written in the 1960's by Harvey Schmidt (music) and Tom Jones (book and lyrics). The team of Schmidt and Jones are best known for writing "The Fantasticks."  "I Do I Do" is based on the Dutch comedy "The Fourposter" by  Jan de Hartog, which won the 1952 Tony for best play. "The Fourposter" starred Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy as Michael and Agnes; the musical "I Do I Do" was performed by such greats as Mary Martin, Robert Preston, Carol Burnett, Rock Hudson, Lee Remick, and Hal Linden to name a few.  
   
  The musical follows Michael and Agnes from their wedding day in l895 through 50 years of married life, ending in 1945. Michael is a writer and Agnes is a housewife, and the audience is brought along on t he couples journey through the laughter and tears of married life.  In the Grindstone production, the director's vision emphasizes the humor of the play, taking after the Carol Burnett and Rock  Hudson version.
   
  Welcome back, Grindstone. What an exciting  year you have planned.
  More later.
