I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change
September 9 - October 2, 2005
directed by Debra Bedient
Cast: Paul Adkins, Sharon Greany, Kim Hart, Eric Spencer
with Larry Trop, accompanist
Written by Joe DiPietro & Jimmy Roberts
"This is my life!"
In a theatrical age of mammoth spectacles and brooding musical dramas, 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… reinvigorates the revue
by taking a hilarious and tuneful joyride through the dizzying spectrum of
modern male-female relationships.
Act
I of this “witty...musical revue about romance” (Variety)
takes a joyfully satiric look at being single in today’s world, and Act II turns
its attention to married life. Featuring razor-sharp sketches, a wonderful
score, and heart to spare, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change
celebrates the never-ending battle of the heterosexes.
