Cast and Creative Team Set for THE LAST FIVE YEARS at Oil Lamp Theater
The cast of The Last Five Years includes Abraham Deitz-Green as Jamie, and Lili Galluzzo as Cathy.
Oil Lamp Theater has revealed the cast and creative team for its next production of its 2026 season, The Last Five Years, written and composed by Jason Robert Brown and directed by Christina Ramirez, June 5 - July 5, at Oil Lamp Theater, 1723 Glenview Road.
The Last Five Years debuted at Northlight Theatre in 2001 and returns to the North Shore after runs on Broadway, Off-Broadway, the West End and, most recently, a concert version at Radio City Music Hall with Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Ben Platt and Golden Globe and NBR winner Rachel Zegler. Jason Robert Brown's musical masterpiece The Last Five Years is a widely beloved show and the Drama Desk Award-winner for Outstanding Music, taking audiences on the romantic rollercoaster of Jamie and Cathy as they fall in… and out of love over the last five years. Told from each individual's perspective – one chronologically and one backwards – audiences will be swept into the unique storytelling and find an anti-love story full of humor and heart.
