The Last Five Years is an intimate, deeply moving musical that explores the rise and fall of a five-year relationship between Jamie, an ambitious novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress. Told through a unique and captivating structure, Jamie narrates their story from the beginning to the end, while Cathy moves in reverse - from the heartbreak of their separation back to the excitement of their first spark.
Featuring an emotionally rich score by Tony Award winning composer Jason Robert Brown, this contemporary musical is a raw, honest, and beautifully crafted portrait of love, ambition, and the moments that shape our lives. With its powerful music and inventive storytelling, The Last Five Years has become a modern classic, resonating with audiences around the world.
