The Last Five Years – ACT Contemporary Theatre
The winner of two Drama Desk Awards, this modern musical takes a devastatingly honest look at Cathy and Jamie and their journey of falling in and out of love over five years. Through clever storytelling and sharp lyrics – Cathy’s songs start at the end of the relationship, while Jamie begins at the start of their love affair – Jason Robert Brown’s cult favorite is a raw and intimate window into two perspectives of one relationship. This acclaimed musical is an unforgettable chronicle through the joy and ache of love.
