SYNOPSIS

“Goodbye until tomorrow.”

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The Last Five Years follows the romantic relationship of Cathy, an aspiring actress, and Jamie, a successful novelist, from exhilarating beginnings to devastating end. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy telling her story backwards while Jamie tells his story chronologically. The Last Five Years explores themes of love, ambition, insecurity, and the complexities of relationships. It touches on the emotional highs and lows that both Cathy and Jamie experience, emphasizing the challenges of balancing personal dreams with romantic partnerships.

The structure of the show, with Cathy and Jamie’s stories moving in opposite directions, creates a powerful contrast between their perspectives, highlighting how differently they experience the same relationship. It also reinforces the idea that time and circumstances can shape one's understanding of love and loss.

Jason Robert Brown's Drama Desk winner The Last Five Years has been translated into a handful of languages and was named one of Time Magazine's 10 best shows of 2001. A testament to the show's longevity and spurred by the show's regional popularity, The Last Five Years enjoyed an Off-Broadway revival at Second Stage in 2013 and is set to run on Broadway in the spring of 2025. A film adaptation was released in 2014 starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.

Brown's music sensibility fuses pop-rock stylings with theatrical lyrics. He is the recipient of three Tony Awards for his work on Parade and The Bridges of Madison County.

All performances are in English and will be accompanied by a live band.
