The truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as "the relationship" are given the musical once-over in the hilarious musical revue I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, opening Friday, February 10, at 8 p.m. at The Roxy Regional Theatre in Clarksville.
Starring Heather Anderson, Josh Bernaski, Ryan Bowie (who does double duty as director of the production) and Ashley Laverty, this celebration of the mating game explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, and reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set.
Through the lyrics and music of Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change 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?"
The performance on Saturday, February 11, is part of The Roxy’s Martinis at the Roxy event. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., patrons will enjoy drinks complemented by a menu featuring antipasto, smoked salmon, shrimp cocktail, blackberry chipotle chutney served over cream cheese, fruit skewers, and an array of desserts including raspberry tiramisu bites, sparkly cheesecake-stuffed strawberries, brownie turtle bites, red velvet cake balls, and bite-size chocolate chip cookies. The performance I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change will follow at 8 p.m. Tickets for this event are $50.
I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change runs February 10 through March 3, playing Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, February 18.
