Casting announced for I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change

David Ribi (Hairspray/Dreamboats and Petticoats, pictured right), Nic Kyle (London theatre debut), Sarah Goggin (Taboo) and Chloe Taylor (The Sound of Music/Wicked) will star in a production of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change at Battersea Barge.

I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is a musical comedy revue with book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts, produced by Dréim Productions and directed by Drew Baker. It runs between Monday 14th and Thursday 17th July 2014.

The musical pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the beginning of romance, to those who have dared to ask, ‘Say, what are you doing Saturday night?’ A celebration of the mating game, it takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as “the relationship”.

Without understudies the West End would be in chaos... in fact it would not even be able to function! That is why I decided our May poll should be voting for 'West End Frame's Understudy Of The Year 2012'! It was so hard to choose 20 nominees as there are so many incredibly talented understudies in the West End of whom I have a lot of respect for, I do not know how they do what they do.

Voting opened Friday 4th May 2012 and closed Thursday 24th May at 3.00pm. This is the longest voting period we have had on West End Frame so this gives you plenty of time to spread the word!

Lets give our understudies the recognition they deserve!

Happy Voting...
