You can't love him; you can't leave him. She drives you nuts; that's why you adore her. Yet if only he this; but if only she that. Sound familiar? If so, you'll love the musical revue 'I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change,' just as audiences have for over seven years. With lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts, the show is now the longest-running Off-Broadway musical, and with good reason: It resonates by just being real. Four actors play over 20 characters spanning the spectrum of male-female relationships. And if there are moments that aren't especially joyous, at least these canny creators can take a scene about cheating and make it sing, or show a date gone horribly awry and still be wry. -- Ethan Kellard |
