SYNOPSIS
An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. This time-bending tale of love, ambition, and heartbreak as The Last Five years follows Cathy and Jamie’s relationship-from exhilarating beginnings to devastating end. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy telling her story backwards while Jamie tells his story chronologically.
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. A film adaptation was released in 2014 starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.
All performances are in English.
Tickets available November 2024.
