Description

A queer adaptation of Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years presents an emotionally charged musical following Jamie and Cathy as they fall in and out of love over their turbulent five-year relationship. The two sides of their story unfold in reverse chronology: we meet a heartbroken Cathy and follow her bittersweet tale in reverse to their first meeting, while Jamie experiences their relationship from start to bitter end. The two characters cross paths only once, on their wedding day.
