I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE Comes To WBT 6/18-8/2

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, the laugh-inducing, award-winning musical comedy about love in the suburbs is often described as "Seinfeld set to music". It's a hilarious look at love and relationships that is as touching and insightful as it is humorous. Four actors play over forty roles scaling the dizzying spectrum of male/female relationships. The trials and tribulations of being single, dating, marriage, loss, and heartbreak and everything in the relationship process that you have ever secretly thought about, but were afraid to admit, are cleverly explored.

It is hailed as the most "proposal-friendly" musical, as there have been 61 wedding proposals at the show, all of which resulted in yeses!

As the longest running Off-Broadway musical, it premiered at New York City's Westside Theatre on August 1, 1996 and closed on July 27, 2008, after 5,003 performances. It's garnered over $60 million worldwide in ticket sales and survived translation into thirteen languages.
