For Immediate Release

Onstage in Theatre Too at Theatre Three: I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change

What would the Valentine's season be without I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change by Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts? Celebrating its 10 year anniversary, Theatre Three’s mega-hit production returns for a limited engagement with all performances in Theatre Too, Theatre Three’s intimate downstairs playspace. I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change begins on Friday, January 29, 2010 and will close on Sunday, February 28, 2010. Have you ever been on a really awkward, even bad first date? Have you ever wondered if that special someone would ever call? Did you experience pre-wedding jitters or did you have to wear an ugly bridesmaid’s dress (and matching shoes, or course)? Have you ever held your wife’s purse while she went shopping or endured the endless football game your husband just had to watch? I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is the hilarious musical revue about all of love’s greatest challenges: dating, sex, marriage, and family life. I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change began its record-breaking run at Theatre Three in June of 2000. After its six week run (plus a 3 week extension) on Theatre Three’s mainstage as the first show of the 2000-2001 season, the show transferred to a newly renovated Theatre Too to satisfy popular demand. The show ran continuously for three years, closing in July of 2003. This is the ten year anniversary of the Theatre Three production and the theater is very happy to have original cast member, Carrie Slaughter, reprise her role. The show’s success run at the Westside Theatre in New York ended on July 27, 2008. The New York production ran for 20 preview performances and 5,003 regular performances, making it the second longest-running musical in Off-Broadway history. I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change! has been produced in 150 cities around the world including London, Tel Aviv, Mexico City, Barcelona, and Amsterdam. Over its three year run, the musical revue earned slightly more than one million dollars in ticket revenue for Theatre Three, and worldwide, the show has grossed about $60 million.
