The Last 5 Years

Daisy Prince directs the New York premiere of The Last Five Years. Jason Robert Brown’s newest work is an intimate, romantic, two-person musical about a nice Jewish boy and a good Irish-Catholic girl in New York City who fall in love and fall apart during a five-year courtship. The woman, Cathy, begins at the end of the relationship while the man, Jamie, starts at the beginning. Only once do they sing together: during the wedding in the middle of the play. The production stars Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott.
