Daytona Times REVIEW | What’s Happening Daytona REVIEW | News-Journal ARTICLE |
This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost,
to those who have fallen on their face
at the portal of romance,
to those who have dared to ask,
"Say, what are you doing Saturday night?"
The
Longest Running Musical Review of All Time!

Shortly after
it opened in 1996, the Newark Star Ledger called I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change "Seinfeld set to pop
music." Well, Seinfeld is no more, but I
Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change lives on in several cities, as well as
being in its ninth year in New York. Based on the audience reception at the
performances, it shows no signs of slowing down in Chicago, either.
After The Fantasticks
ended its run, I Love You, You’re
Perfect, Now Change became Off-Broadway's longest-running musical. In 2002,
it became the longest running musical review of all time, making it the longest
running musical review in New York history, breaking the record set by Smokey Joe's Cafe. Its New York run has
surpassed the runs of Hello, Dolly!, My Fair Lady, Annie, Man of La Mancha,
Oklahoma!, The Threepenny Opera, Pippin, and South
Pacific, among others. It just goes to show you that romance sells. I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change
opened at the Westside Theatre on August 1, 1996. Productions of the show have
opened in more than 150 cities worldwide, including Los Angeles, Toronto,
Boston and London, among other cities. Subjects covered on the musical ride
through the modern-day mating game include dating, romance, marriage, lovers,
husbands, wives, and in-laws.
Make no mistake,
though, I Love You, You’re
Perfect, Now Change is not heavyweight entertainment. However, there are
moments, particularly in Act 2, when the poignancy of the show sneaks up on
you. Subjects covered in the show include most of the components of modern day
relationships. In fact, it is structured like a relationship - Act 1 deals with
dating, and Act 2 deals with marriage, parenthood, and the death of a
spouse.
I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is the
perfect date show. It doesn’t matter what stage your relationship is at, or
whether you’re in a relationship at all. This show will speak to you
regardless. Plan ahead, though. Central Florida productions of this show tend
to sell out!
