Laugh for love

To those who have loved and lost, those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance and to those who have dared to ask "what are you doing Saturday night?" - what are you doing on June 9? 

"I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change", the second longest running off Broadway musical in history hits our local shore on June 9. Presented by MediaCorp VizPro International, this brand new local production on love, dating and marriage blends humour and song parodies that will leave you in stitches. 

"The amazing thing about
this two-hour show is that it is a roller coaster of emotions, from laughter to tears. Four actors play over 50 characters with many scenes that people will recognise themselves," said Australian Director Darren Yap, who also directed "Miss Saigon". 

Having been translated in 13 languages including Hebrew, Spanish and Japanese, the Singapore take will not lack on local flavour.

"With advice of my wonderful local friends and colleagues of what references and locations are current in Singapore, I adapted these into the script" Yap revealed while also adding, "Yes, expect some Singlish-lah!" 

Local funny-man Gurmit Singh who was slated for the rom-com had to drop out due to an injury and has been replaced Richard Meek last seen in the Rocky Horror Show playing at London's West End .

Be prepared to leave this love-happy musical with a warm yet funny, familiar feeling as you will find some pretty familiar scenes and characters among the cast that also includes RJ Rosales ("Chang and Eng", "Crazy Christmas 2010") and Cynthia Lee MacQuarrie ("Closer"). 

"The stories are about the clichés that we have all heard of or know someone who knows someone who has had to go through" said MacQuarrie.

RJ Rosales added: "I'm always drawing from my own experience when I play a character. 

"For this, I have to go back to those times when I was still dating. So the process can be both happy when I try to remember the dates that went well and painful with the ones that didn't go well."

So if you've been wondering about that someone, maybe a pair of tickets to this uplifting musical, running from June 9 to 19 at Drama Centre, would hit the right spot.
