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

(Dallas, Texas) What would the Valentines season be without I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Changeby Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts. 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 Thursday, January 17, 2008 and will close on Sunday, February 17, 2008. 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 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. The show is currently running at the Westside Theatre in New York. 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.

This year, Theatre Three has partnered with the Fairmont to offer a special romantic package: 2 tickets to I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change and a one-night stay at the Fairmont with in-room wine and dessert.
