The Last Five Years

THE LAST FIVE YEARS is a multi award winning, emotionally powerful and intimate one-act musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. Written by Tony Award winning composer Jason Robert Brown, the show's unconventional structure consists of Cathy (played by Talia Kodesh), a vivacious struggling actress, telling her story backwards while Jamie (played by Niall Griffin), a hotshot up-and-coming novelist, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show. The show has been produced at almost every major regional theatre in the US, and has been seen in Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Germany, Italy, Canada, Spain, the UK, and now South Africa. With music that elevates the soul to soar, superb scenery and costumes, exquisite lighting and the best of the South African Musical Theatre industry, this show is sure to take your breath away!
