About this event
An intimate, nostalgic look at a happy marriage full of ups and downs, Theatre at the Center presents the first two-person musical ever performed on Broadway, I DO! I DO!
The charming, Tony-nominated musical runs at Theatre at the Center, 1040 Ridge Road, Munster, Indiana, April 22 through May 23.
