Now Change</i>' is a Broadway musical smash hit that has been performed internationally since its first run in 1996. It is described as "Everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid to admit". Sharp, witty and alarmingly accurate, the script is a series of vignettes that cover everything from falling in lust and the singles scene to early parenthood and the death of a partner. Songs such as "<i>Men Who Talk and the Women Who Pretend They're Listening</i>", "<i>I'll Call You Soon (Yeah, Right)</i>" and "<i>Sex and the Married Couple</i>" capture the bitter sweet truth of the daunting minefield that is the modern relationship. There is even a remarkable scene where an elderly couple start flirting at a funeral ("<i>Funerals are for dating</i>"), which may sound wrong but the truth is after a certain age, you make hay wherever the sun is shining. <p align="justify">Safe sex is easy...safe love is not as straight forward. <p align="justify">The Hong Kong Singers and Director Wendy Herbert (<i>Cosi, He Died with a Felafel in his Hand, Don's Party</i> and <i>The Club</i>) are collaborating on this project and are delighted to have secured some of Hong Kong's most remarkable Musical Theatre talent. <p align="justify">The show opens October 4th at the Fringe Club. The show is PG, there is some swearing, but no sex (sadly) or violence (although a tub of ice cream dies). <p align="justify">This is a much loved musical, and tickets will sell out fast!
