THE SHOW
I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is a comic celebration of the bewildering mystery of life known as L-O-V-E. This insightful and tuneful musical revue humorously reveals the truths and myths of relationships — from dating, to love and marriage, and on through the agonies and triumphs of in-laws, newborns and trips in the family car. Tobin said, “With its upbeat score featuring pop, doo-wop, jazz and more, this show is perfect entertainment for a Vermont mid-summer evening out.”
The original Off-Broadway production of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change opened in 1996 and ran for more than 5,000 performances, making it the longest Off-Broadway musical comedy revue in history. The show was nominated for an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical.
