This is an in-person, Reserved Seating Music Theatre and Opera student lab production.

The Last Five Years

Written and composed by Jason Robert Brown

Directed by Jonice Bernard

Music Direction by Kevin White (‘22)

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical 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, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically. The two characters only meet once - at their wedding in the middle of the show. Our production of “The Last Five Years” will explore what this relationship looks like in different forms, hopefully offering a more representative view of the relationships we experience everyday.

Content Warning:  This performance may not be suitable for young audiences due to strong language and sexual content.
