Jason Robert Brown's musical explores the rollercoaster journey of two New Yorkers as they navigate their five-year marriage asking the question, “can this couple that were once bonded by a shared love of creativity remain united as their lives move in different directions?”
Jamie’s side of the story starts at the beginning, filled with the fizz of new romance, and continues chronologically, while Cathy’s retelling begins at the end, reflecting a much sadder reality and moving backwards.
