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”.

Zanna, Don’t really lives up to its “A Musical Fairy Tale” subtitle. Colourful, camp and totally unbelievable, the story concerns itself with the exploits of Zanna (played by the very likeable David Ribi), an uber-gay quasi-cupid who makes loves happen in Heartsville, USA, where the story is set. In this alternate universe, homosexuality is ubiquitous: straights are subjected to castigation and prejudice, the ‘football’ jocks worship the chess team and the pretty girls ride mechanical bulls in synchronised routines.

Wyndham's Theatre
Performance: Monday 29th October 2012

Dreamboats and Petticoats is based around Fifties and Sixties hits from the album series of the same name. The show features songs from Roy Orbison, The Everly Brothers, Neil Sedaka, Eddie Cochran, Dion and Del Shannon, among others. Set in 1961, the show follows young musicians Norman and Bobby as they compete to win the hearts of their adoring female fans – and more importantly, the gorgeous Sue. But when shy Laura shows that she’s no slouch on the piano, rock ‘n’ roll fame beckons...

Dreamboats and Petticoats is a good show with great music and amazing performers which guarantees to get the whole audience up on their feet at the end of each performance. The show is a perfect alternative family show as parents will love the music while the younger ones will enjoy the light hearted story and loveable characters.
