Jason Robert Brown’s creation weaves together the love story of Cathy (Helen Perry) telling her story backwards while Jamie (Andrew Buxton) tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show. 
The show is directed by Rebecca Parker with musical direction and piano accompaniment by Jonathan Francis.

The Last Five Years was named one of TIME Magazine’s ten best shows of 2001 and was released as a film in 2014 starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.
