The hilarious modern love musical.

I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is a laugh-out-loud, musical comedy that won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway musical.

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as ‘the relationship’. Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting, to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and new-borns, trips in the family car, and the pick-up techniques of the geriatric set.

The show pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask ‘Say, what are you doing Saturday night?’

Writer and lyricist Joe DiPietro and composer Jimmy Roberts bring momentum, mischief, romance, frankness, sauce, familiarity, delight, jaw-dropping awkwardness, pathos and passion, surprise and shock, to savvy, soulful, sweet, sour, salacious scenes ranging in length from five to eight minutes, diverse in style, tone and content.
