I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change

This Broadway musical made its debut in 1996 using songs to tell story arcs of typical couples’ relationships from dating to widowhood—well, “typical” as defined by this rather dated show. Though the show boasts an ace team that includes local cabaret king Jerry Lee as director, a very talented musical acting-singing foursome and two skillful musicians, it just can’t overcome this 20-year-old show’s stale songs and rather confined view of love. Still, some of the songs are clever, capturing the aches, pains, comedy and rewards of old-school courtship. Lee does the best he can with the material.
