Dakota Reider & Elle River to Star In THE LAST 5 YEARS in New Jersey

New Jersey's most beloved tenor and soprano, Dakota & Elle, are set to perform in an exclusive run of the hit musical, "The Last Five Years," a tragic love story told entirely in song. Featuring live musical accompaniment by local artist, Allison Stella, on the piano.

The Last Five Years, a musical by Jason Robert Brown, follows Cathy (Elle River), a struggling actor, and Jamie (Dakota Reider), a literary prodigy as they fall in love. Told in a non-linear storytelling style with Cathy starting at the end of their marriage and Jamie starting at the beginning of the relationship, the musical explores whether a couple can stay connected as their paths diverge.

Don't miss this one-in-a-lifetime performance playing for one weekend only this November 15th & 16th inside the gorgeously acoustic sanctuary at the Forked River Presbyterian Church.

• November 15th at 7:00 pm
