Make
a commitment to see 'I Love you'
By Alisha Gomez
On-line Forty-Niner
Love -- one of
the trickiest things about being in love is telling the other
that he or she needs to change. OK, so maybe that is something
that should not be done.
Live out all those thoughts through the newest Musical Theatre
West's musical "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change,"
opening Saturday at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center.
The musical takes the audience through what it is like in
today's dating and mating game, covering topics on dating,
marriage, romance, lovers, husbands, wives and having in-laws.
The Long Beach performance is the third regional production
in Southern California and "I Love You, You're Perfect,
Now Change" is the longest running off Broadway musical
revue.
The book and lyrics are by Joe Dipietrol. He is also the author
of plays such as "Over the River and Through the Woods,"
"The Kiss at City Hall" and "The Virgin Weeps."
He has received the William Inge Theater Festival New Voices
in American Theater Award and has won the O'Neill National
Playwright's Conference MacArthur Award for comic writing.
Music is by Jimmy Roberts and director is Larry Raben and
the musical director is Dianne King Vann.
The Broadway musical was hailed by many critics as genius
and many production companies have chosen this musical to
perform, and this is Musical Theatre West's second to last
show of the season.
"I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" is the
perfect thing to do if you are going on a date. Couples will
also enjoy this performance. It is only running until May
5 on selected days.
