A comedy at International City Theatre about modern love (Feb. 20 to March 8) – sponsored
International City Theatre opens its 41st season with I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, the crowd-pleasing musical comedy revue that tackles modern love in all its forms. Four triple-threat performers portray more than 40 characters in a collection of scenes and songs, scaling the dizzying spectrum of relationships and revealing the difficulties and joys of connecting with another person at nearly every stage of life.
I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is the longest-running revue in Off-Broadway history. Featuring a book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts, the show takes a witty, honest, and affectionate look at modern love in all its complicated glory. Barry Pearl, best known for his role as “Doody” in Paramount’s iconic film Grease, directs the three-week engagement, with music direction by Daniel Gary Busby and choreography by Becca Sweitzer.
By turns endearing, hilarious, and deeply relatable, the musical explores the thrills and pitfalls of dating, romance, marriage, and long-term commitment — from first dates and second guesses to in-laws and everything in between — capturing nearly every stage of romantic life with warmth and humor.
The show runs February 20 through March 8 on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. For more information and to purchase tickets, call 562-436–4610 or visit InternationalCityTheatre.org.
