I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change is a rollicking throwback to a nearly extinct theatrical genre: the musical comedy revue. With book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change reinvigorates the revue by taking a hilarious and tuneful joyride through the dizzying spectrum of modern male-female relationships.
Everything you've secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives, and in-laws - but were afraid to admit - is celebrated in this musical joyride through the jungle of the modern-day mating game.
With four actors playing over 40 roles in a collection of scenes and songs scaling the dizzying spectrum of male/female relationships, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change reveals the difficulties and joys of connecting with another person, no matter what age.
I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change opened at the Westside Theatre in New York on August 1, 1996 following highly acclaimed engagements at New Haven's Long Wharf Theatre and the American Stage Company in New Jersey. Critics and audiences cheered the New York debut of this new musical revue. The New York production marked its 1000th performance on December 26, 1998.
