“The Last Five Years is an emotionally charged, two-person musical by Jason Robert Brown that deconstructs the rise and fall of a marriage through a unique, non-linear structure. Set in New York, the story follows Jamie, a rising novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress, as their personal and professional ambitions collide.

The narrative unfolds through two opposing timelines that intersect only once. Jamie’s story progresses chronologically from their first spark of romance to their final goodbye, while Cathy’s tale begins at the end of the marriage and moves backward to their very first date. The two characters traditionally inhabit separate worlds on stage, meeting only in the middle of the show during their wedding song, “The Next Ten Minutes.”

The show opens with a heartbroken Cathy reading a breakup letter and an ecstatic Jamie discovering “Shiksa Goddess,” allowing the audience to experience the relationship’s greatest joys and deepest failures simultaneously. Originally premiered in 2001 and inspired by Brown’s own failed marriage, the musical made its Broadway debut in 2025, starring Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren.”

Run time: 105 minutes, no intermission.
