Everything You Ever Thought About Relationships–But Were Afraid to Admit
Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro, Music by Jimmy Roberts
In this charming and comical musical about contemporary love’s many dangers (from the teen years through marriage, children, and old age), we get to giggle and recognize both ourselves and loved ones in the many reversals of modern romance.
With each audience member being able to connect to the character’s woes, it is no surprise that I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change became New York’s second longest running off-Broadway play. Join us at the Athens as this delightful romp takes on the truths and myths behind “the relationship” and the “mating game.”
Run time: 1 hour & 45 minutes (plus a 15-minute intermission)
Presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals
SPECIAL ASL/ENGLISH INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE ON FRIDAY 3/11.
