The Last Five Years

Description

The Last Five Years

Experience one of musical theatre's most innovative and emotionally powerful love stories. Jason Robert Brown's acclaimed musical tells the five-year relationship of Jamie, an ambitious novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress, through a unique storytelling device: Cathy's story unfolds backward from the end of their marriage, while Jamie's moves chronologically from their first meeting. The two timelines intersect at their wedding in the middle, creating a poignant exploration of love, ambition, and heartbreak.

With a soaring contemporary score featuring songs like "Still Hurting," "Moving Too Fast," and "The Next Ten Minutes," this intimate two-person musical reveals how the same relationship can look entirely different from each partner's perspective. Alternately heartbreaking and hopeful, The Last Five Years is a raw, honest look at love's complexities that will resonate with anyone who has ever been in—or out of—a relationship.
