and life from behind the wheel. It is a wildly funny, surprising and devastating tale of survival, a

troubling relationship between a young girl and an older man.

A Drama Desk award winner, the musical has been translated into a handful of languages and was
named one of Time Magazine’s 10 best shows of 2001. The show is an emotionally powerful and
intimate musical about two New Yorkers who fall in and out of love over the course of five years.

while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their
wedding in the middle of the show.
The Edge is intended for mature audiences only.
