I Do! I Do! is Virginia Rep’s Hanover Tavern entry into Richmond’s Acts of Faith Festival. The original play from which the musical is adapted is The Fourposter by Dutch playwright Jan de Hartog (1914-2002). The Fourposter opened on Broadway in 1951 starring and ; it won the and ran for 19 months. It was adapted into the musical I Do! I Do! in 1966 by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, the creators of The Fantasticks. The original Broadway production starred Mary Martin and Robert Preston, and was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Musical, with Robert Preston winning Best Actor. The The Nation’s Largest Faith-Inspired Theatre Festival show ran 18 months. PARTICIPATING THEATRES

Jan de Hartog was born in Haarlem, the Netherlands. His father was a minister and Cadence Theatre Company HATTheatre TheatreLAB theology professor. He left home at the age of ten to work as a sailor on fishing in partnership with boats and steamers. After attending the Amsterdam Naval College, he worked at Creating Claire Bad Jews Virginia Rep the Amsterdam Municipal Theatre from 1932 to 1937. During this period he wrote March 4-13 February 18 – March 5 a number of popular detective novels. From the late 1930s to late in life, de Hartog The Mountaintop Quill Theatre Virginia Rep worked steadily as a successful playwright and novelist. His novel Holland’s Glorie February 18 – March 12 at the November Theatre (1940) was banned when it became a symbol of Dutch resistance against the Nazi Stupid F**king Bird CAT Theatre occupation in World War II. Wanted by the Nazis, de Hartog hid in an Amsterdam January 7-30 Saturday, Sunday, Monday co-producing with home for senior citizens, disguised as an old woman. The Fourposter, his most February 12 – March 6 5th Wall Theatre Richmond Triangle Players successful play, was written during this period of hiding, and reflects the lack of Virginia Rep’s respect he felt was awarded to women at that time. Both The Fourposter and I Do! I Unexpected Tenderness Lazarus Syndrome Children’s Theatre Do! are early works that ask the audience to consider the role of women in marriage. January 22 – February 13 February 24 – March 19 I Have a Dream Firehouse Theatre Swift Creek Mill Theatre Both plays ask the audience to question the passage in Ephesians 5:22 that says January 27 – February 14 “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.” Both shows The Fourth Wall The Little Lion Virginia Rep open and close with a pillow placed on the bed that states “God is Love.” That phrase December 7 – January 31 January 28 – March 5 at Hanover Tavern appears twice in the Bible, both times in 1 John. 1 John 4:8 says “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” Eight verses later, the point is driven I Do!

Referring to the law of Moses, he states, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.
