Theatre review: I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change

Comedy Theatre, London SW1 (0171-369 1731)

This predictable, formulaic assembly of sketches and songs explores "relationship experiences" (ugh) and only succeeds in increasing one's admiration for Sondheim who did it 30 times better 30 years ago in Company. The attractive versatility of Clive Carter, Shona Lindsay, Gillian Kirkpatrick and Russell Wilcox sometimes disguises its thinness and lack of inspiration, but never for long. Lame, dated and self-congratulatory.
