Performed in the intimate Gate Theatre at Torbay Theatre, Jason Robert Brown's sensational musical features hit songs like 'I’m Hurting', 'See I’m Smiling', and 'The Next Ten Minutes' in numerous arrangements, recordings, and videos, taking TikTok by storm. This global phenomenon led to a film adaptation ten years ago starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan. In 2025, it is anticipated to have a Broadway revival.
This modern musical ingeniously chronicles the five-year journey of a marriage, from meeting to break-up and from break-up to meeting. Emotionally powerful and intimate, it tells the story of two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over five years. The show's unique structure has Cathy telling her story backwards while Jamie tells his story chronologically. The two characters meet only once, at their wedding in the middle of the show, played by Maria Morris and Drew Young.
The Last Five Years spans a wide range of genres, from classical to rock to klezmer. It premiered at the Northlight Theatre in Skokie, Illinois, in 2001 and reportedly sold more tickets in a single weekend than any other production at that theatre before. The Last Five Years has been produced in hundreds of American cities, as well as in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, France, and the Philippines.
