Synopsis:
The Last Five Years is…
“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 and aspiring actress, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man and rising author, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only ‘meet’ once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.”
