(West Palm Beach, FL – June 12, 2018) Marcie Gorman, Executive Producer & Artistic Director for MNM Theatre Company, today confirmed the casts for its next two major productions at the Kravis Center's Rinker Playhouse: the witty I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change and the sentimental favorite My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra. Both shows will be directed by Dom Ruggiero with Caryl Fantel serving as music director.

As with its previous productions – including the highly acclaimed and Carbonell Award-recommended Avenue Q, which closed last Sunday following a successful three-weekend run – MNM spotlights Florida-based actors, both Equity and non-Equity.

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change

July 27 to August 12

The second-longest running Off Broadway musical, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change is about "everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid to admit." Taking on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as "the relationship," this hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, and to those who have dared to ask, "Say, what are you doing Saturday night?" The show's cast includes:

+ Clay Cartland

This is Clay Cartland's third show with MNM following La Cage Aux Folles, Company and The World Goes 'Round (Carbonell Award: Best Ensemble).
