Players Circle Theater Brings I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE to Ft. Myers

Players Circle Theater presents the hilarious musical comedy I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE with book and lyrics by two-time Tony winner Joe DePietro and music by Jimmy Roberts. 

This acclaimed off-Broadway musical ran over 5,000 performances in NYC, making it the second longest-running musical in off-Broadway history. The ingeniously funny musical exposes everything you’ve secretly thought about dating, mating & marriage, but were afraid to admit.

I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle Award as Outstanding Off-Broadway musical. It has been translated into 17 languages, showcases in more than 400 cities worldwide, and was called by the NY Daily News “Seinfeld set to Music!”

The play is Directed by Players Circle Artistic Director Robert Cacioppo, who directs the musical for the third time. Cacioppo states, “I’m delighted to be bringing back this smash hit to the Players Circle stage! The show is universal in its appeal and just plain hilarious. It covers every aspect of the male-female relationship from first dates to marriage, from having children to a skit of a senior citizen ‘picking up’ another senior at a funeral.”

Music Direction by Ricky Pope (Godspell, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, Ho! Ho! Ho! The Christmas Show, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change). Set design by Steven McLean (Godspell, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks, Proof, Butterflies Are Free, Ho! Ho! Ho!

Costume design by Terri Schaffer (Breaking Legs, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, Murder at the Howard Johnsons).

The Christmas Show, Laughter on the 23rd Floor, Amanda Ross (Godspell) and Associate Artistic Director Ted Wioncek III (Godspell, Ho! Ho! Ho! The Christmas Show, Breaking Legs).

Cacioppo concludes, “I don’t think there has ever been a more relatable piece of theater. Masterfully tuneful, heartfelt, and witty… I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE will have audiences falling in love all over again.”
