Stage musical written by Jason Robert Brown. It had first previews and premiered at Chicago's Northlight Theatre.

The story explores a five-year relationship between Jamie, a rising novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress. The show uses a form of storytelling in which Cathy's story is told in reverse chronological order (beginning the show at the end of the marriage), and Jamie's is told in chronological order (starting just after the couple have first met). The characters do not directly interact except for a wedding song in the middle as their timelines intersect.

Cast recording released in April 2002.
