Celebrating its 40th Anniversary! Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock ‘n’ roll sci fi gothic is more fun than ever. A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, the musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist unveiling his new creation, a muscle man named Rocky Horror.

JAMIE WELLERSTEIN: THIS ROLE HAS ALREADY BEEN CAST

Drama Desk award-winner The Last Five Years is Jason Robert Brown’s intimate window into a couple’s doomed marriage. The Last Five Years tells the story of a successful young writer, Jamie Wellerstein, who is Jewish, and Cathy Hiatt who is a struggling young actress (characterized as a Shiksa by her blonde hair and blue eyes) – and their five year relationship. We see Jamie’s side moving forward in time while we see Cathy’s side moving backwards through the relationship. We are ultimately heartbroken and forced to examine our own life and relationships. Since its Off-Broadway premiere in 2002, Brown’s funny, poignant, and devastatingly honest two-person production has enraptured audiences around the world with its spellbinding and emotional score and libretto.
