I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE
Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro Music by Jimmy Roberts
Orchestrations by Doug Katsaros
Originally Produced in New York by James Hammerstein, Bernie Kukoff and Jonathan Pollard
Original Direction by Joel Bishoff
Originally produced by the American Stage Company James N. Vagias, Executive Producer
JULY 21-30, 2023
I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is the second-longest running off-Broadway musical in theater history.
The beloved show follows the highs and lows of first dates, first loves, marriages, babies, in-laws, and growing old together, paying tribute to those who have loved and lost, and to those who have dared to ask someone out on a date.
The show was first performed off-Broadway in 1996. Over the years, DiPietro and Roberts have updated lyrics in the show’s numbers to make the production more relevant to today’s pop culture and technology-driven environment.
