The Last Five Years

Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown

Directed by Kevin Dutcher

An emotionally powerful two person musical that tells the story of two urban, aspiring artists who dive into a marriage fueled by youthful, passionate optimism. The play revolves around Jamie, an arrogant Jewish novelist, and Cathy, an insecure gentile actress and follows their troubled courtship chronologically—backward (hers) and forward (his). Funny, honest, and intimate, the play examines a relationship where professional and personal passions collide and bring piercing and unexpected challenges.
