The Last Five Years
By Jason Robert Brown
Directed by Laura Gordon
Music Direction by Luke Shepherd
Coming full circle on the theme, Till Death Do Us Part, Brown’s gorgeous musical looks at the beginning and ending of a relationship through the eyes of Cathy and Jamie. In rotating songs, Cathy’s journey moves backward through the relationship, while Jamie’s moves forward. Through beautiful music and clever, moving lyrics, Brown looks deeply at the sacrifices we make, how we come to define each other, and what it costs to let it go.
The Last Five Years runs September 11 – October 3.
