The big news about ”I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” playing at Cohoes Music Hall weekends through May 23, is that it’s the first area indoor theater production in over a year. The good news is that though the material is inconsistent, it’s a well-performed, swiftly directed effort that provides a lot of laughs.
“I Love You…” is a lighthearted evening of comedy and song that will warm the heart of anyone who loves theater. The cast of four is relentless in its energetic desire to make the audience laugh. This is a hard-working, talented quartet that is asked to create almost 60 characters in a two-hour period and make them distinctive and funny. Most work well, a few miss completely, and others are moderately entertaining. However, overall, it’s admirable work.

THEATER REVIEW: No changes necessary in this production | The Daily Gazette

COHOES The late, great Debbie Reynolds once sang “Love Is a Simple Thing,” a pop standard by June Carroll and Arthur Siegel.
But according to lyricist Joe DiPietro and composer Jimmy Roberts, it really isn’t, and therein lies the hilarity (and occasional poignance) of this musical from 1996, now in a sterling production at Cohoes Music Hall.
Producing artistic director Owen Smith and his Playhouse Stage Company have thrown open the doors after all of these awful months and, with proper protocols in place, invited us to try indoor theater again. If you feel up to it (vaccinations provide both a medical and psychological measure of comfort), you will be rewarded with a script that charts the course of true love which, as another noted wordsmith wrote, “never did run smooth.”
