Theater Review: ‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change’: Nostalgic Musical of Couples in Love

Updated:

GLENVIEW, IL—Although times were different when “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” first opened in 1996 Off-Broadway, and the dating game it depicted has since changed, romance is still very much the same. As the musical, now playing at the Oil Lamp Theater in Glenview, Illinois, demonstrates, love is timeless, still very funny, and oftentimes very poignant.

Of course, over the years a few changes have been made to the musical revue, such as the modern use of cell phones, texting, the Internet, and the style of clothing, but, no matter the time, human nature remains the same.  Men and women are still motivated by love.
