Hickory Theatre Prepares “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” for its Hickory Debut.

HICKORY – The smash hit musical revue, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” is getting ready to premiere at Hickory Theatre. The production opens on the mainstage on Friday, March 10, 2006, at 8 pm and continues through Sunday, March 26th.

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as “the relationship.” Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting, to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set.

The cast includes Hickory favorites Leesa J. Schoeberle, Jeff Hartman, Timothy Bolick, and Janet Brooks, all of whom play a variety of characters in this fun-filled, musical romp.

In a generous partnership with Olde Hickory Tap Room, patrons at select performances will receive a special surprise on the backs of their tickets.

“It’s fantastic that the Tap Room would come on board to help us offer a fuller evening,” said Pam Livingstone, Artistic Director.

This show is presented on the HCT mainstage from March 10th to the 26th, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm, Thursdays March 16th and 23rd at 7:30 pm, and Sunday, March 26th at 2:30 pm. Tickets are $16 for adults, $14 for students and seniors, and $7 for youth 18 and under. The show is rated PG-13 for adult situations and humor.

For reservations call 828-328-2283 or come by the HCT box office on weekdays, 10-5. The HCT complex is located at 30 3rd St NW in downtown Hickory.

This production is produced by Catawba Radiological Associates and First Citizens Bank. HCT is a funded affiliate of the Catawba County Council for the Arts.
