GotoBus.com, a leading online market place for bus tickets and bus tours, is working with Love Lemmings, Co. to sell show tickets for the popular Broadway musical, I Love You, You&39;re Perfect, Now Change in its first Chinese version. The Chinese/American co-production was the first foreign production of an American musical to be performed in the US. I Love You, You&39;re Perfect, Now Change will be performed entirely in Mandarin, with English subtitle projected above the stage.
"We are trying to expand our ticketing services, including concerts and shows, to provide our customers with more comprehensive recreational services on our website," says Jimmy Chen, President of GotoBus.com. "We are very excited to promote and market the first Chinese/American co-produced broadway musical. The Chinese/American co-production I Love You, You&39;re Perfect, Now Change will cater to those who speak Mandarin as their first language as well as those who want to watch the show from a different cultural perspective."
Originally written by playwright/lyricist Joe DiPietro and composer Jimmy Roberts, I Love You, You&39;re Perfect, Now Change is a celebration of the modern-day suburban mating game that explore the joys of dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws. I Love You, You&39;re Perfect, Now Change is co-produced by The Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center and Broadway Asia Entertainment and directed by Joel Bishoff, who helmed the original New York production as well as productions in 17 cities worldwide. Not just a recreation of the New York show, Joel Bishoff worked with translator Nick Rongjun Yu to incorporate local Chinese attitudes and references, allowing the material to resonate with Shanghai audiences.
This production premiered in Shanghai in December 2006 and has been selected as the special opening ceremony attraction at the prestigious 2007 Beijing Theater Festival on Tuesday, April 17 before the entire company makes the move the New York City. After the New York engagement, the company will return to Beijing to launch an extended multi-city tour throughout China. Featured in the talented cast of four is Lin Yilun, one of China&39;s most popular singing stars and the winner of the 2006 Best Male Singer of China Award at the CCTV&MTV Music Awards, along with Yu Yi, Wen Yang, and Ma Qingli.
