Real-life married couple Paige Davis and Patrick Page (yes, Davis' married name really is Paige Page) will star as I Do! I Do!'s married pair Michael and Agnes in a forthcoming production of the musical at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. The production begins performances December 11, with opening set for December 12. The limited engagement plays through December 20. No director has been announced.
Based on The Fourposter by Jan de Hartog, I Do! I Do! is the story of one couple's five decades of marriage as adapted by The Fantasticks' Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt. Set in and around the couple's four-poster bed, the piece was written as a vehicle for legends Mary Martin and Robert Preston. The original Broadway production opened at the 46th Street Theatre on December 5, 1966, playing 560 performances and receiving seven Tony Award nominations before closing in 1968. Since then, the show has attracted the likes of Carol Lawrence and Robert Goulet, Carol Burnett and Rock Hudson and Lee Remick and Hal Linden in starry stagings.
Davis is most recognizable as the one-time host of TLC's Trading Spaces. On Broadway, she has appeared in Chicago and Boeing-Boeing. Nationally, she has toured with Sweet Charity, Beauty and the Beast, Chicago and The Vagina Monologues.
Page's numerous Broadway credits include The Kentucky Cycle, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Julius Caesar, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and A Man for All Seasons. He previously played The Globe in Cyrano De Bergerac.
