The Last Five Years

From their first hello to their final goodbye, this intimate and alluring musical by modern theatre icon Jason Robert Brown chronicles the five year relationship of a young couple whose path takes them in different directions – in more ways than one.  Jamie, a budding novelist, tells his version of their relationship in chronological order, while Cathy, an aspiring actress, tells hers in reverse, with the two meeting only once through the show’s 14 melodic, haunting, and sometimes hilarious songs, at the moment of their marriage. THE LAST FIVE YEARS takes an honest look at themes that can define a modern relationship: success, sacrifice, jealousy, infidelity, miscommunication, and, most importantly, time.

NOTE: THE LAST FIVE YEARS replaces our previously announced January title MEN ON BOATS.  THE LAST FIVE YEARS will be filmed live on stage at the Lucie Stern Theater  in compliance with county and state COVID-19 production guidelines.
