Celebrate Valentine's Day with Curtain Call Theatre

In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Curtain Call Theatre (CCT) will present the musical comedy, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change!” with book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts, on February 10, 11, 17 & 18 at 8:00 PM and February 12 & 19 at 2:00 PM. “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change!” is about everything you’ve ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives, and in-laws, but were afraid to admit.

Directed and choreographed by David Costa (Dorchester) and music directed by Dan Moore (Roslindale), this production stars actors Bowen Huang (Chinatown), Stephanie Charlton (Malden), Jay Hutzler (Jamaica Plain), and Michael Herschberg (Needham). Reflecting on this show, Herschberg said, “I saw this show many years ago when I was young, dating, and single and loved it. Years later as a married dad of two kids I still love it. I'm sure 20 years from now I'll still love it. This show has something for everyone no matter if you are single, dating, engaged, married, divorced, a parent, or a grandparent. You'll find part of your life reflected in so many of the songs.”

Costa, who has also directed Every Brilliant Thing, Forever Plaid, and Nunsense for CCT, said, “When Toni Ruscio asked me to direct and choreograph, I had never seen the show before. I instantly fell in love with it. The cast and I have had a lot of fun throughout the process.”

Charlton adds, “It's amazing how only four people can convey so many aspects of the many stages and types of relationships, but this small and mighty group are definitely up to the challenge, and I'm honored to be part of it.”

Huang continues, "My favorite quote from the author’s note is “People trying to connect.” We all need love and communication in our lives, and this is the perfect show to see that pure human emotion."

Tickets cost $27 each and can be purchased at www.curtaincallbraintree.org. Curtain Call Theatre is located at 182 Commercial Street in Braintree, Ma.
