About The Show

You've seen the musicals about felines, cross-dressing nuns, teapots and candlesticks, old French flags, helicopters, flying pigs, singing murderesses, falling chandeliers, and lousy navigation through an ice field.  Now, at long last, "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" exposes everything you've secretly thought about dating, mating, and romance but were afraid to admit.  TRS's upcoming production of this hit musical will take you on a joyride through the jungle of the modern-day suburban mating game.  A free Champagne Intermission is offered to love birds who attend our special Valentine's Night performance on February 14 ay 8 P.M.. 

"I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" opened at the Westside Theatre in New York on August 1 1996, and became an immediate sellout following its world premiere at the American Stage Company.  It closed recently Off-Broadway after becoming the longest running Off Broadway musical.

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.
