3:40 The big news about ”I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” playing at Cohoes Music Hall weekends through May 23, is that it’s the first area indoor theater production in over a year. The good news is that though the material is inconsistent, it’s a well-performed, swiftly directed effort that provides a lot of laughs. “I Love You…” is a lighthearted evening of comedy and song that will warm the heart of anyone who loves theater.
