Adam Kantor and Betsy Wolfe, stars of the recent off-Broadway revival of three-time Tony winner Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years, will reunite for a concert presentation of the musical at the American Conservatory in San Francisco. Performances will be held on March 27 at 8pm and on March 28 at 2pm and 8pm.

Kantor and Wolfe took on the roles of Jamie and Cathy in Brown's abstract two-hander in 2013 at New York's Second Stage Theatre. The story follows the couple through their five-year relationship, with each character moving through time in opposite directions. The musical received its first off-Broadway production in 2002, starring Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott and has received a film adaptation, starring Jeremy Jordan and Anna Kendrick, set to be released this February.

"I am so excited to be returning to American Conservatory Theater for this special two-night concert presentation of Jason Robert Brown’s brilliant masterpiece," says Wolfe. "Adam and I have performed this show in various venues throughout the United States and we look forward to bringing it to the beautiful Geary Theater!"

"What a joy to bring the incredible Betsy Wolfe back to A.C.T. after her indelible performance as Mary Ann in Tales of the City, and to pair her with Adam Kantor in Jason Robert Brown's beautiful and heartbreaking love story," added A.C.T. Artistic Director Carey Perloff. "We're thrilled to have the chance to offer this unique opportunity to Bay Area audiences."
