Music Theatre of Denton has relatively highbrow roots. When it started, the company was dedicated to promoting the operettas of William S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. The company selected trained singers to revive The Mikado, H.M.S. Pinafore and The Pi­rates of Penzance.

After 23 seasons, a pared-down romantic comedy, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, has been the company’s most successful show.

The company is bringing the show back for two performances at the end of the month.

“I guess what prompted it all is that this cast of four just jelled so wonderfully, and they really wanted a chance to do it again. When it came up that Elizabeth Hanley was going to join the Peace Corps, everyone figured that it probably wasn’t going to be possible to bring these four people together after that,” said company board president Terry Nobles.

Nobles said the first run sold out several shows. 

“We were just, number one, blown away by it — the quality was so good, and it was so timely and timeless,” he said.

Some of the music was staged during the company’s fundraiser, Nobles said, and suddenly, company volunteers — including director Bill Kirkley and Nobles himself — started thinking out loud about another performance.

“The show will happen literally the last two days of our season,” Nobles said. “This just worked out really well for us. It comes down to four extremely talented people who just really get on very well together and work really well together. There’s not a weak link anywhere.”

Justin Harmon, Stephanie Felton, Joseph Brown and Elizabeth Hanley return to the Denton stage to play about 60 roles created by Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts. The company staged the musical last February. The comedy follows the arc of ordinary, everyday love — from the first flicker to the last glowing ember. Kirkley leads his small cast through the second staging.

The four actors play dozens of characters who wish they were in love, wish they could get out of love or just plain can’t shake love.

The show is for mature audiences.
