HAHA i was going to say Last Five Years too :)

probably the greatest one male one femal musical ever. its composed by Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Songs for a New World).

Im a senior theater arts major at Azusa Pacific University. we did it a few years ago as a senior capstone project. here some video from our production so you can see what it is.

Females song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GHa-doxUfg&feature=channel
Male Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCOJ9gihYh8&feature=channel
Both of them (There are a few where they actually sing together): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErdqvRkwOsI&feature=channel

basicly the concept of the show is that it is about the relationship/marriage of a couple. However the story is told from the perspective of both partners one song at a time. The females songs go backwards (so her first song is after the divorce) and the males part goes foreward in time (his first song is the first date). both perspectives eventually meet in the middle before intermission with thier marriage. after intermission they continue on thier course moving in opposite directions so that the males last song is when he decides to leave while her last song is after the first date.

its wonderful i highly suggest it. its one of my al time greatest shows :)
