Il musical THE LAST FIVE YEARS ha debuttato a Chicago nel 2001 e la sua prima in un Teatro Off-Broadway risale al 2002. Più recentemente nel 20013 un acclamato revival sempre Off-Broadway, lo ha riportato in auge tanto da meritare nel 2014 una trasposizione cinematografica con Anna Kendricks e Jeremy Jordan nei ruoli dei due innamorati/sposi/divorziati. Arriva in Italia con la traduzione di Daniele Adriani al Teatro Don Mario Torregrossa. La trama si svolge attorno ai 5 anni di vita di una coppia in un intrigante e inusuale percorso temporale agli opposti. La giovane Cathy, attrice in cerca di affermazione, inizia a raccontare la loro relazione dalla sua fine, mentre Jaime, giovane scrittore in brillante ascesa, la racconta dal loro primo incontro: in scena i due interagiscono in un unico duetto al momento della proposta di matrimonio per poi proseguire la narrazione nelle due direzioni temporali contrapposte. Nel finale scopriamo lui nel momento dell'addio mentre lei nel percorso inverso narra il loro primo incontro. L'autore e compositore Jason Robert Brown (al suo attivo 11 Tony Awards per questo musical ma anche per gli altri sui lavori, Parade del 1999 e The bridges of Madison County del 2014) oltre alla brillante idea di formulare il racconto con questo doppio percorso agli antipodi, incanta lo spettatore con la piacevolezza e complessità di una partitura che non annoia mai neanche nei momenti più cupi del racconto. Il crescendo di lei dal triste al felice, antitetico a quello di lui dal felice al triste è trattato con un equilibrio perfetto in ogni momento della narrazione.

As the year winds to a close, and the holiday hustle and bustle keeps us spinning our wheels, it can be a salve for the spirit and rest for the weary to sit in a darkened theater for a couple of hours. There is a plethora of seasonal fare competing for your entertainment dollars, but may I suggest something completely different from the colorful, holly jolly? A departure from the ballerinas, Christmas ghosts, and department store Santas? How about a two-time Tony Award-winning musical (1999 Best Book/Best Score) written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Alfred Uhry (DRIVING MISS DAISY) and Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown (SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD, THE LAST FIVE YEARS), that will pump the blood to your heart, and push you back in your seat until the very end, when you will rise up and salute this Moonbox Productions' PARADE.

“Mr. Ailey had this notion that a dancer needed to know or understand multiple techniques and styles,” she explains. “He was ahead of his time in that regard. Without realizing it, he was thinking about the future o

Jason Robert Brown has been hailed as one of Broadway's smartest and most sophisticated songwriters. In fact, The Chicago Tribune referred to his work as 'extraordinary, jubilant theater music.'
