Artist bio

The Last Five Years is a one act musical written by Jason Robert Brown and produced off-Broadway in March of 2002. It explores the five-year relationship between Jamie, a rising novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress. The show uses an unorthodox form of storytelling, with Cathy traveling backwards in time (starting with their divorce and working backwards to their first date) and Jamie traveling forwards (starting with their first date and working towards their divorce). The songs are presented as soliloquies, except for a wedding song in the middle, where the two characters share a duet. En savoir plus
Sometimes, this show is performed in such a way that Jamie and Cathy only interact during their wedding.

The original New York off-Broadway production starred Sherie Rene Scott as "Cathy" and Norbert Leo Butz as "Jamie". It was directed by Daisy Prince and opened to mixed reviews on March 3, 2002 at the Minetta Lane Theatre.
