The Last Five Years

After a critically acclaimed run at Southwark Playhouse last year and a highly successful worldwide stream with stream.theatre, Jason Robert Brown’s Drama Desk Award-winning musical, THE LAST FIVE YEARS is transferring to the Vaudeville Theatre, for a limited season. The musical is an emotionally powerful and intimate story about two New Yorkers who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The musical’s unconventional structure unfolds as Cathy (Molly Lynch), a struggling actor, tells her story in reverse, from the end of their turbulent relationship, whilst Jamie (Oli Higginson), a literary prodigy, tells his story chronologically from the spark of their initial meeting. In the musical, the two characters meet only once, at their wedding, which falls in the middle of the show. THE LAST FIVE YEARS is directed by Jonathan O’Boyle.
