1974 Productions returns to Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre

“1974 Productions” returns to Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre this July presenting their first musical collaboration, with “Make Your Mark Productions” presenting I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change. With Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro and Music by Jimmy Roberts.

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind the eternal conundrum known as “the Relationship”. Act 1 explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while act two reveals the agonies and triumphs of in laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious musical pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face and to those who have dared to ask, “what are you doing Saturday night?”

Playing from 15th – 19th July 2025 at Hope MIll Theatre, 113 Pollard St, Manchester (7.30pm nightly with a 2.30pm matinee on the Saturday). Tickets are on sale now from https://hopemilltheatre.co.uk/event/i-love-you-youre-perfect-now-change/
