01 Jan I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change

Tickets here. 

Romantic adult relationships are the focus of the musical comedy “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” coming to Sea Glass Stage Company February 20 to March 8.

Directed by Dan Franke, the show promises chuckles, guffaws, and maybe slightly cringy shrugs at familiar scenes.

“This show is almost indescribable – there’s nothing to compare it to,” Franke said, when asked what the musical is all about. “Each scene is a snapshot of love, in or out of it, with people who are old, young, gay, straight.”

The many stories celebrate numerous facets of relationships from first meet-ups to marriage, successful pairings to comical mistakes, from moving in to moving on, with a healthy dose of kids and in-laws, family vacations, and pick-up techniques of the elders.

Four local actors will portray the 40 characters represented in the comedic vignettes, “almost in ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketch format crossed with a musical revue,” Franke said. “It is delightful, because the audience isn’t sure what the next scene is going to be.”

Franke is joined on the production team by Bob Adams as musical director, Alex Clark as stage manager, Ashley Gonzalez as choreographer, and Craig Walck as lighting designer. Marcia Peterson returns as costume designer and procurer.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays, February 20-March 8, at the home of Sea Glass Stage Company, 1 N. Forest Beach Drive in Coligny Plaza. Tickets are available now at sgstage.org.
