Neil Simon's romantic musical is based on the relationship between American composer Marvin Hamlisch and lyricist Carole Bayer Sager.

The story follows Vernon Gersch, a neurotic and successful composer with a host of awards. He is paired up with the lovably eccentric Sonia Walsk, a young lyricist who is a hopeless time-keeper and dresses in cast-off theatrical costumes. The unlikely pairing seems destined to falter before it begins. Can Vernon's egotistical bachelor lifestyle cope with Sonia's ex-boyfriend and her multiple personalities? As their working relationship grows, however, so do their feelings for each other, and romance blossoms.
