A film adaptation was released in 2014, starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan
Featuring a two-person cast, The Last Five Years is a great opportunity for actors with both range and stamina. This intimate musical is perfect for small theatre companies and black box venues. |
Five years of life. Five years of love. Five years of joy, sadness, anticipation, regret, hope, despair, dreams, and nightmares all rolled into 90 minutes of some of the most unforgettable moments and music you'll experience this summer. Join Cathy and Jaime as they chronicle the five-year life of a marriage, from meeting to break-up and from break-up to meeting. In this ingeniously written, emotionally powerful, and intimate musical, two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love with each other tell their story: Cathy recounting her story backwards as Jaime tells his story chronologically. They meet only once... at their wedding in the middle of the show. |
