‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change’ looks at modern love in all its forms
Opening March 28 at the FSW College Theatre is I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.
Written in 1996 by Joe DePietro, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change was the second longest running show in the history of Off Broadway. Its theme is so universal that it has been translated 
into 17 foreign languages. Hilarious and insightful, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, and to all those who dare ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?”
This witty musical revue tackles modern love in all its forms – from the perils and pitfalls of the first date to marriage, children, and the twilight years of life. Set in the modern world and told through a series of vignettes and songs, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change traces the overall arc of relationships throughout the course of a life.
Act I details the journey from dating and waiting to lovers and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. And it’s a sure bet that each audience member will leave the theater with his or own favorite vignette, whether it’s a first date at the movies, a dating class for singles over 30 or “Always a Bridesmaid.”
I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change runs March 28-30 and April 4-6 at 8:00 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre, with matinees at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 30 and Saturday, April 6. Tickets are available through www.brown papertickets.com.
