VLT Stage II Cabaret series:

I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change returning to Venice stage on February 5

The long-running off-Broadway musical comedy I Love You, Your Perfect, Now Change opens for a second run at Venice Little Theatre on February 5, 2008 and runs through March 2.. Evening performances are Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $23 and are available now at the box office, by phone at 488-1115 and online at www.venicestage.com.

Musically directed by Michelle Kasanofsky and staged by VLT’s Associate Director Allan Kollar, this hilarious revue covers "everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid to admit". With memorable tunes by Jimmy Roberts and clever lyrics and sketches by Joe DiPietro, songs such as "Always a Bridesmaid", "Single Man Drought", "Marriage Tango" and the show’s title number always bring big laughs. The more poignant numbers – "I Will Be Loved Tonight" and "Shouldn’t I Be Less In Love with You?" – might elicit a few tears as well.

Long-time collaborators Chris Caswell,Kimberly Gardner-Kollar and Bobbie Eschenbach are joined by area favorite Steven Flaa to form a top-notch cast that will delight audiences and likely produce another round of sold-out shows. (VLT added five performances to its 2006 run of the show due to robust ticket sales.)

Venice Little Theatre is located at 140 West Tampa Ave. on the island in Venice. The Box Office is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and an hour before each performance. Tickets may be charged by phone at 941-488-1115 or online at www.venicestage.com.
