The East Union High drama students will be performing “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” beginning on Saturday.
This is the musical comedy is the second-longest running off-Broadway production – book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts.
A special VIP reception and show will be held Thursday afternoon for faculty and school board members in the Black Box Theater.
The Playbox Ensemble at East Union will perform “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” – under the direction of theater teacher Annette Taser – before the public on Saturday, beginning at 8 p.m., along with the following week (Oct. 27 through 29) at the same time.
Tickets are $8 general admission, $7 for seniors and children age 13 and under. East Union is located at 1700 N. Union Road.
The musical is a celebration of the mating game as it takes on truths and myths on relationships.
“From dating and waiting, to love and marriage, to the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car, and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set, this hilarious revue 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 ask, ‘Say, what are you doing Saturday night,’” said Taser in her press release description of the play.
