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?”
