Rappler Talk Entertainment: The ladies of ‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change’

Repertory Philippines opens its 88th Season with this well-loved musical comedy

If all rom-coms were rolled into one and made into a musical, it would be I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change. This well-loved theatrical romp sings its way through the entire gamut of romantic relationships: the highs, the lows, and all the drama. No wonder it’s one of the longest-running off-Broadway shows ever.

Repertory Philippines (REP) staged the show in 2024, to sold-out crowds and rave reviews. To open its 88th Season, REP is offering “ILYYPNC” – book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro, music by renowned composer Jimmy Brooks, updated and directed by Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo – at the brand new REP Eastwood Theater in Quezon City from February 20 to March 9, 2025.

The show’s cast members Gabby Padilla, Krystal Kane, and Barbara Jance visit Rappler to talk about the musical that’s been nominated for 13 Gawad Buhay Awards and two Aliw Awards. Bookmark this page to watch the episode live on Wednesday, February 12, at 3pm. – Rappler.com
