Carousel to stage hilarious musical comedy
Tickets range from $28.50 to $40.
AKRON -- Need a cure for the post-holiday blues?
Carousel Dinner Theatre is presenting the hilarious musical comedy "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" from Jan. 11 to Feb. 25.
Touching on every aspect of relationships -- from being single, to dating, to the in-laws to marriage -- "I Love You" has been called the perfect marriage proposal show.
It covers the gamut of mating, from the crazed singles scene to the 30-year marriage. With skits such as "Men Who Talk and the Women Who Pretend They Are Listening," and "I'll Call You Soon (Yeah, Right)," there is a story that will get almost everyone asking, "Are they talking about me?"
150 cities
Four actors -- two women and two men -- play more than 60 roles in the musical review, which has played in more than 150 cities worldwide.
Kathleen McCann returns to the Carousel after her performance in "Swing!" She is joined by New York actress Jennifer Swiderski.
Gavin Esham and Jared Bradshaw play the two male roles. Esham has performed in the European tour of "Jesus Christ, Superstar." Bradshaw is a veteran of New York theatrical comedies.
Donna Drake is the director.
