1[[WMG: The two Schmuels in "The Schmuel Song" are the same person.]]
2The clock ''literally'' turned time back, and Schmuel became 41 years younger. He then proceeded to travel to Odessa and fall in love with a girl there.
3** I always assumed this is the interpretation you're supposed to take. Is there another one that's 'official'?
4[[WMG: Jamie is in bed with a man during "Nobody Needs to Know".]]
5He only calls the person "kid".
6* Isn't it implied that the person he slept with is Elise his editor
7[[WMG: Film!Jamie's fame is causing him to hallucinate.]]
8Think about it: why else would the receptionist suddenly decide to only show up to work in her bra? Or why Cathy is ''in the room with Jamie'' as he sings "Nobody Needs to Know"?
9[[WMG: Jamie is the grown-up version of Jason from {{Theatre/Falsettos}}]]
10His messed-up childhood turned him into an adult with skewed ideas of how to treat women and a complex about his Jewish heritage.
11[[WMG: Jamie decides to write about his marriage in his latest book.]]
12It’s about a composer named Jason Robert Brown and his failed marriage with actress Theresa O’Neill. His story is told normally while hers is told in reverse chronological order, with them being the only characters present, allowing the readers to piece together how their marriage came together and fell apart, and just who was at fault.
