The reimagined version, created by Jones, will feature two pianos and five couples, who will portray the main characters as they explore highlights of 50 years of marriage: “The Wedding Night,” “The Fight,” “New Year’s Eve,” “Thousands of Flowers,” and “The Golden Anniversary.”

Written as a star vehicle for theatre legends Mary Martin and Robert Preston, the original Broadway production ran more than a year and received seven Tony nominations.

The Gala Reception is scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM with a gourmet catered “Rehearsal Dinner” at The York Theatre, followed by the “Wedding Ceremony” concert performance of I Do! I Do! at 8 PM, and a dessert and wine “Wedding Reception” immediately following.
