The Orange Players will present the long-running Off-Broadway musical comedy 'I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE!', directed by Ian Galligan, on November 5th, 6th, 12th and 13th, 2010. With book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts, 'I LOVE YOU...' takes a hilarious and tuneful joyride through the dizzying spectrum of modern male-female relationships. This hilarious musical revue explores the trials and tribulations of being single, dating, marriage, loss, and heartbreak, addressing everything in the relationship process that you have ever secretly thought about. Some of the satire includes what it means to be a part of the crazed, hopeless single scene; cold feet and the pre-wedding realization; the in-laws; the 30 years of marriage - Basically everything that you are afraid to admit! With 5 actors playing over 40 characters, 'I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE!' played over 4,000 performances in 10 years at New York's Westside Theatre - becoming the second longest running show and longest running revue in Off-Broadway history. The musical has been showcased in more than 250 cities world-wide. In addition to its enormous success, the Off-Broadway production was the site of over 50 marriage proposals!
