About the Show

Sparks fly when Jamie and Cathy first meet and fall desperately in love. They soon learn, however, as their careers head in very different directions, that happily ever after can be hard to find. This uniquely told musical filled with intimacy, honesty and humor features a lush and witty score. The couple tells their story from two different chronological points of view: Cathy begins at the end of their marriage and goes backwards to their first amazing date, while Jamie tells their story from the first stirring of their romance. Jason Robert Brown’s Drama Desk Award-winning musical takes an emotionally powerful look at the joys and heartbreak of relationships in the Big City.
