I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change opens Jan. 24

Sutter Street Theatre will kick off its 2026 season with the acclaimed musical comedy I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, opening Jan. 24 and running through Feb. 15 in Historic Folsom.

With music by Jimmy Roberts and book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro, the long-running Off-Broadway favorite takes a humorous and heartfelt look at modern relationships, capturing everything from the awkwardness of first dates to the routines, revelations, and realities of long-term partnership.

The production is directed, choreographed and musically directed by Connie Mockenhaupt, with Eileen Beaver serving as co-director. Together, the creative team brings the show’s quick-moving scenes and relatable storytelling to life, presenting a series of short vignettes that mirror how relationships actually unfold.

Recommended for date nights, longtime partners, friends and anyone with strong opinions about love and why people are the way they are, the musical leans into the small, often funny moments that define how people connect, commit and change over time. Its blend of sharp observation and emotional honesty has earned praise from critics nationwide.

“If this show were a blind date, you’d feel relieved, grateful and pleasantly surprised,” Newsday wrote of the production. Variety called it “so smartly conceived… catchy tunes and witty lyrics.”

Performances will be held Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 4:30 p.m. The show is rated PG-13 and runs approximately 105 minutes. All performances take place at Sutter Street Theatre, located at 717 Sutter St. in Folsom.
