By admin on 2015-01-07

Now, when it comes to live theatre, you might find Broadway musicals a bit foreign here in China, but there are people volunteering their efforts to promote musicals in China, out of love and aspiration. Thanks to their hard work, the Broadway musical "I Do, I Do" has hit the stage in the capital.

The show opens with a wedding of sorts, as a beautiful bride all dressed in white and her tuxedo-wearing groom listen to their wedding vows. And since this is a musical, it isn't long before the couple break into song and dance. The packed house was quickly swept off their feet by the romantic atmosphere.

"I Do! I Do" explores the bitter-sweet marriage life of a couple spanning fifty years. It traces the pair from the early days of their marriage, through all the tears and pain, till the time when they have both grow old, but their love for each other remains strong.

From the director to cast members, all are volunteers working free for the show.

Although the cast and crew are composed of people from around the world, they have one thing in common - they all share a love for musicals and are willing to perform to those who love musicals too.
