‘You’re Perfect’ opens next week
SEQUIM — “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” the classic musical comedy, opens next week at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave., with a preview performance Thursday and a gala opening Friday, Jan. 30.
Just four cast members portray multiple characters — and “they fall in love more times in two hours than most people do in a lifetime,” said Pat Owens, director of the show.
And as if “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” weren’t long enough, there’s a tag line to go with the title: “Everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid to admit.”
Leona Voss, Sheenieka Dolan, James Willis and Joel Yelland star in this romp at 7:30 p.m. each Friday and Saturday, plus
2 p.m. matinees Sundays, Jan. 30 through Feb. 15.
This coming Thursday’s preview also starts at
7:30 p.m. with general admission at $10, or free for Olympic Theatre
Arts members.
After the show opens Jan. 30, reserved seats are $22, or $20 for OTA members and active duty military members and their spouses.
And while parental discretion is advised, tickets are $16 for youngsters 16 and younger.
The one exception is a pay-what-you-can performance at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 5.
For information about “I Love You,” phone the OTA box office, open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 360-683-7326, or visit www.olympictheatrearts.org.
