Review: THE LAST FIVE YEARS (Opening Night) at Civic Center Little Theatre
Now on stage at the Civic Center Little Theatre, featuring Oklahoma's own Erin Elizabeth Clemons!
Southern Plains Productions wraps up the 25-26 season with Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years. It takes some true storytellers to bring this show to life, and my friends.....this production right here does exactly that! Featuring Broadway alum and Oklahoma's own Erin Elizabeth Clemons as Cathy and Tristan McIntyre as Jamie, this story takes us on a journey starting in the end of the marriage (Cathy) and the beginning of the relationship (Jaime) in the same moment. Cathy and Jamie only connect in the same wavelength of time when they were most in love and there for each other. Both Erin and Tristan captivated the audience living in each of those time fragments through song. Hearing these beautiful voices up close in an intimate stage setting, really invites us in to what emotions Cathy and Jamie were really feeling about life passing by, feelings about each other, and if happiness or success can really be attained for yourself if living in the shadow of a partner.
This beautiful production under the direction of Cameron King, The Last Five Years is a must see! It will make you laugh, cry, and most of all think about how we spend our time with the people around us. From the backing visuals of Erin and Tristan as Cathy and Jamie happily married to the phenomenal storytelling on stage, the power they both bring is absolute magic! You can really see and feel the love put in this production. Congratulations and Happy Opening!
Southern Plains Productions The Last Five Years runs from May 29 - June 6, 2026! Trust me, you don't want to miss it!
