meeting, while Cathy relates the story in reverse, starting with their
breakup and moving backwards in time until their first meeting. Made up
mostly of solo turns, with beautiful music and alternately humorous and
heartfelt lyrics, it is only in the middle of the show that Jamie and
Cathy come together as Jamie proposes and the two are wed.
