Cast Set for THE LAST FIVE YEARS At Milwaukee Repertory Theater
Performances will run from March 21 – May 18 in the Stackner Cabaret.
Milwaukee Repertory Theater will present The Last Five Years by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown (Parade, The Bridges of Madison County), March 21 – May 18, 2025, in the Stackner Cabaret. Named one of the 10 best shows of 2001 by TIME Magazine this brilliant musical, with a fantastic score that has become a modern classic. The two person cast features Wisconsin native and Kids from Wisconsin alum Grace Bobber as Cathy, and Asher Muldoon as Jaime, who recently came off the national tour of Dear Evan Hansen, with Scott Cook on cello.
The Last Five Years delivers ballads of every shade in an emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. Captivating both audiences and critics earning it a Drama Desk Award (music and lyrics), a film adaptation and productions around the world, Jason Robert Brown's cult favorite is a raw and intimate window into two perspectives of one relationship.
