List of Characters in I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change

1996 Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording
Sheet Music

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change is a musical revue which takes a funny and witty look at relationships from the first date through marriage and death.

This is an ensemble piece, complete with some choral reading. The majority of the script is made up of individual scenes for 2-4 people. The show could be done with a different actor for each character or with actors playing several characters.

The music covers a wide range of musical styles.

While the show is not explicit, there is very frank discussion about sex. A monologue dealing with the theme of the relationship between man & woman would be an excellent audition choice.
