This intimate musical chronicles a five year relationship between Jamie, a rising novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress. Expressed through the evocative music and lyrics of Jason Robert Brown, the timeline is traced from opposite directions beginning with Cathy’s lament at the end of their marriage, while Jamie starts at the earliest and sweetest moment of their romance. Their experiences intersect only in the middle where they share a wedding song. The Last Five Years is made of touching revelations about the pervasive joys and stresses that emerge when two creative people fall in love.
