The Show
The Last Five Years
Jason Robert Brown's Drama Desk winner, The Last Five Years, has been translated into a handful of languages and was named one of TIME Magazine's ten best shows of 2001. A testament to the show's longevity, and spurred by the show's regional popularity, The Last Five Years enjoyed an Off-Broadway revival at Second Stage in 2013. A film adaptation was released in 2014, starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan
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.
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.
Buy TicketsThe Project
The WV Collective is excited to present "The Last Five Years," an emotional and intimate musical by Jason Robert Brown. Its compelling narrative unfolds over a five-year forensic examination of the relationship of Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress.
Jamie and Cathy love each other, but love is hard. The unique structure of the musical showcases Jamie's story in chronological order and Cathy’s in reverse, with their timelines intersecting only once. Directed by Adam Taylor, this production promises to bring a fresh and intimate perspective to the stage.
Join us at the cozy Beckley Women’s Club for an impactful theater experience that captures the realities of modern relationships. It will resonate with you, whether you want it to or not.
