The Bethesda Theater

Just before Thanksgiving I had the opportunity to see a great show at a great venue. "I Love you, You're Perfect, Now Change" is currently playing at the newly renovated and re-opened Bethesda Theater.

Let's start with the theater. In late September we were live from the theater during 9 NEWS NOW at 6 AM with a preview. The theater has been restored to look like it did when it first opened in the 1930s. The detailed ceiling along with Art-Deco styling is a thrill to see in person and I urge everyone to patronize this place. I think the best seats in the house might actually be in the rear section about half way up, because it's a mezzanine like area as opposed to the flatter front of the house, but there really isn't a bad seat anywhere. The theater is also very cozy, seating approximately 650.

Now for the show, "I Love you, You're Perfect, Now Change", which runs through February 17th, is a comical look at dating and marriage. The 4 performers are very talented and there are many catchy tunes in the show.

There seems to be a lot about relationships that we can all "relate" to.

I will caution you, however, that this is a show for adults. I might consider bringing a mature high school student, but leave the little ones with a baby-sitter. If it were a movie, I think it would get a PG-13 rating.
