THE LAST FIVE YEARS is an emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers through the beginning and end of their relationship. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically. The two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show. A key feature of this production is the six-piece ensemble of musicians as they lead us through the memorable musical themes of this score.
With music and lyrics by Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown, this nearly sung-through musical has captivated audiences and critics, earning a Drama Desk Award (music and lyrics), a film adaptation, and productions around the world.
Directed by Jennifer Kafka Smith
Written and Composed by Jason Robert Brown
