The Last 5 Years

Two people.

Five years.

One love story told from opposite ends.

Poster for a musical titled 'The Last 5 Years' presented by weeMusicals, with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown. The poster has a black background with floral patterns, a large number '5' with a crack running through it, and the silhouettes of a man and woman facing away from each other.

An emotionally raw and intimate chamber musical by Jason Robert Brown about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show's unconventional structure consists of Cathy telling her story backwards while Jamie tells his story chronologically. The two characters’ narratives only converge once, at their wedding in the middle of the show. This piece invites audiences into the characters’ experiences and asks them to examine their own motivations, emotions, and interactions.

Estimated run time is 90 minutes without an intermission.

All performances will be in English.
