I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change features a book and lyrics by Tony Award-winner Joe DiPietro (Memphis, Nice Work If You Can Get It) and music by Jimmy Roberts (The Velveteen Rabbit, The Thing About Men) and is directed by Keith Andrews who has directed numerous St. Michael’s Playhouse productions (Spamalot, Young Frankenstein, Million Dollar Quartet).

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.
