I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE

We’re thrilled to announce that The Algarveans will stage the witty and wonderfully relatable musical comedy “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change (ILYYPNC) on March 12,13,14, 2026. With staging and musical direction by Paul Legault, assisted by Shirley Devlin, this celebrated Off-Broadway hit is sure to make you laugh.

ILYYPNC is a comedic musical review that celebrates the mating game and takes on the truths and myths behind “the relationship.” Through sketches and songs, the show explores the journey from dating to marriage, and reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and raising children. 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 to ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?”

With book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts, ILYYPNC opened off-Broadway in 1996 and ran for over 5,000 performances. When it closed in 2008, the show had become the second longest-running show and longest-running revue in off-Broadway history. In the middle of one early performance, a woman in the audience blurted out, “This is my life!” The show has continued to entertain audiences in more than 250 cities worldwide since. In addition to its enormous success, the off-Broadway production was the site of over 50 marriage proposals.Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals, with all authorised performance materials supplied by Concord, the show is suitable for age 14+ (mild adult themes), and runs about 2 hours with an intermission.

Rehearsals begin in January, with auditions on December 2nd and 4th, 2025.
