June 30 - August 6th, 2006 at the Pasadena Playhouse
(Pasadena, CA):
The story of a marriage is at the center of this intimate and nostalgic work by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, the authors of The Fantasticks. The show begins with Michael and Agnes on their wedding day and traces their life together over a period of 50 years, until the day they leave their house to the next pair of newlyweds. 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 that includes the standard "My Cup Runneth Over."
Tom will be playing the role of Michael in this two person musical. The role of Agnes, his "better half" in the show is, being played by Ovation Award Winner Julie Dixon Jackson.
From 1966 to 1968 I Do, I Do! ran on Broadway. The production starred Robert Preston and Mary Martin. Preston received the Tony Award for his performance of Michael.

"Highlights are the gorgeous duet "My Cup Runneth Over" and the delightfully droll "When the Kids Get Married." Julie Dixon Jackson and Tom Schmid exude the vocal prowess and charm to keep the episodes engaging. Mastering the physical comedy and flippant repartee, the actors capture the lighthearted fun at the heart of this unpretentious confection."
Les Spindle for Back Stage West
"The chemistry between [Tom Schmid and Julie Dixon Jackson]...is nothing short of magical."
Stephanie Lysaght for LA Weekly
"Julie Dixon Jackson and Tom Schmid pull off their portrayals with unfailing professionalism."
F. Kathleen Foley for Los Angeles City Beat
"...mellow-voiced Tom Schmid..."I Do, I Do," which has the bulletproof tunes of a vintage musical...maintains an elemental sweetness."
Don Shirley for The Los Angeles Times
