The laugh-inducing, award-winning production will be directed and choreographed by Matt Raftery.A hit in over 400 cities worldwide, I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE pays tribute to the complexities and absurdities of awkward, intimate moments in relationships including bad first dates, meeting the parents and family trips. From dating and waiting, to love and marriage, to the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns and pick-up techniques of the golden age set, this hilarious musical pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, and to those who have dared to ask, "Say, what are you doing Saturday night?"
