If you like musical revues that are cute and sweet, this one's for you.

"I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" is a two-act string of songs and comic sketches by Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts that has been playing off-Broadway since 1996. Manoa Valley Theatre staged it here in 2000 and brings it back in a new production, again directed by Linda Johnson.

The 30 numbers in the show trace the evolution of relationships from first date to marriage and children to old age and funerals. Much of the fun comes from watching the cast of four (James Santos, Elitei Tatafu Jr., Kim Anderson and Tricia Marciel) make quick changes in and out of costumes and wigs to play the multiple characters.

Any underlying message can be extracted from the show's title (which is also its final number), underscoring the phenomenon that love, while possible, is also frustrating and fickle.

It all starts with the first date.

Santos and Marciel put the new age courting ritual on fast forward by comparing Palm Pilot calendars in "Not Tonight, I'm Busy, Busy, Busy." Agreeing to skip the awkwardness of the first date, they decide to begin with the second date (to figure out whether they're really compatible), then skip to the third (do they want to have sex?).

Tatafu and Anderson bust through stereotypes with "A Stud and a Babe" and suggest that they may stand a chance because both are neither.

And the ridiculous envelope gets pushed to extremes when the cast celebrates a break-up with "And Now the Parents" and takes out sex insurance with "Satisfaction Guaranteed."

Marciel has a wonderful character solo on a twangy country-western number, "Always a Bridesmaid," lamenting a closet full of dresses, but ultimately celebrating her single state.

Interesting people are turned into goo-gooing adults in "Whatever Happened to Baby's Parents" while Tatafu and Marciel demonstrate that even exhausted couples can make time for passion with "Marriage Tango."

Director Johnson maintains the pacing and assures that the cast sustains the light tone. Musical director Christopher Richard Lowe gets good work from his singers and plays keyboard accompaniment, assisted by Erik Krummel on piano.

Greg Howell and Lorena Jones earn stars for wigs and costumes, while original set designer Lloyd S. Riford III puts all the action on a large revolving turntable.

"I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" is light theater, but on some evenings that's enough to be satisfying.
