Halifax Repertory Theatre's production of "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" is coming back this year to the Gillespy Theater at the News-Journal Center.
The show, to open 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31, will star four performers, including former Mouseketeer Jennifer McGill, an equity guest artist who has moved to Ormond Beach to be the artistic director of HRT. The musical comedy is told in the form of vignettes, all connected by the central theme of love and relationships, according to a press release.
McGill is joined onstage by Adam Campbell, as well as HRT founders Sandy and Jack Cook, who is also directing the show. "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" will also feature a live pianist, Yulia Kytlyar, and violinist, Diana Quintero-Kytlyar.
"This crowd pleasing comedy takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as the relationship," the press release states. "Everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid to admit!"
The show is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. Book and Lyrics by Joe Dipietro and Music by Jimmy Roberts.
HRT is a nonprofit corporation formed by the Cooks, both of whom grew up in Ormond Beach and had a desire to revive live theater in the area.
In addition the Jan. 31 date, performances of the show will take place at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 1 and 2. Tickets cost $35. Visit https://our.show/nowchange.
