Although this musical by Jason Robert Brown has been around for a few years, first performed in 2001, I was completely unaware of it until recent publicity and then suddenly it seemed that everyone was talking about it and it’s short run at Fringe 2007. This two hander, featuring as Nadim Naaman as Jamie and Hannah Wilding as Cathy is unusual in the fact that the story is told ‘backwards’ from the breakdown to the inception by struggling actress Cathy, and ‘forwards’ from first date to break up by successful writer Jamie as the tale of their romance is related in song. This is slightly confusing initially, but the quality of the voices together with the simple but effective set and simplicity of the direction make this an eminently watchable musical. The songs, none of which are showstoppers in my opinion are pleasant enough, and now knowing how it is played out would be keen to check it out again. ****
