dance_725_center

In 2014, Paige returned to the stage as Senga Quinn in the Barrington Stage Company (Pittsfield, MA) premier of Dancing Lessons.  Paige co-starred with John Cariani, who played a young man with Asperger’s seeking the instruction of a Broadway dancer (Davis) coping with a major leg injury.  As their relationship unfolds, they’re caught off-guard by the surprising discoveries – both hilarious and heartwarming – that they make about each other.  Written by Mark St. Germain and directed by Julianne Boyd, the comedy-drama ran August 7-24, 2014.

I DO! I DO! (2009) - Old Globe Theatre

i-do-i-do-logo1Stage Couple Paige Davis and Patrick Page Star in I Do! I Do! at Old Globe.

By Ernio Hernandez (October 26, 2009)

Broadway veterans Paige Davis and Patrick Page — who are married offstage — appeared as the wedded couple onstage in the Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt musical I Do! I Do! at The Old Globe in San Diego.

The show played a special run at the California company’s new Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, Dec. 11-20, 2009. Opening night was Dec. 12.

“We’ve been a couple for 14 years and married for eight of them, so we hoped to be able to bring a special kind of truth to the marriage depicted in the show,” stated “Paige and Page” in a release. The special engagement was part of the opening celebration of the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center. (The new Center includes the flagship Old Globe Theatre, the Karen and Donald Cohn Education Center and Hattox Hall, the re-designed Copley Plaza, a new seating pavilion and the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre.)

Based on The Fourposter by Jan de Hartog, the musical from the creators of The Fantasticks “spans five decades in the life of a married couple – from the nervousness of their wedding day to the wisdom of old age,” as notes describe. The story of Michael and Agnes originally played on Broadway with Mary Martin and Robert Preston.

Davis, known to television audiences as the host of “Trading Spaces,” has played on Broadway in Boeing-Boeing and Chicago. Page was seen at The Globe in Cyrano De Bergerac and on Broadway in Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas: The Musical and The Lion King. The duo met while appearing in Beauty and the Beast.

“Paige Davis shines as Broadway’s original good-time girl.  While she’s still the bubbly girl we fell in love with on the hit television show ’Trading Spaces’, Davis exhibits great acting, singing and dancing ability to the stage…Davis is the quintessential Fosse femme fatale. She is bright-eyed, long-legged and knows how to move. She understands what it takes to dance Fosse. She also has a keen insight into Charity’s lot in life.”
