I Love You, You're Perfect Now Change
2 - 4 MAY | CREMORNE THEATRE, QPAC
A crowd-pleasing comedy takes that on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as ‘the relationship.’
I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, the longest running off-Broadway revue in history, has been updated to reflect dating in the 21st century. Brilliantly funny, this fast-paced series of songs and vignettes explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, through to the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set.
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, and to those who have dared to ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?”

Edges
12 - 16 NOVEMBER | TONY GOULD GALLERY, QPAC
Edges is a song-cycle about burgeoning adults asking classic coming-of-age questions. Written by Tony-nominated Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dogfight, James and the Giant Peach) in their sophomore year at the University of Michigan, this charming, witty and honest examination of adulthood explores what happens when we are teetering on the edges of our lives.
The songs cover such universal issues as love, commitment, identity and meaning. Characters deal with confronting emotions, escaping expectations and deciphering complicated relationships.
