The Play:

The Last Five Years is a musical written by Jason Robert Brown. It premiered at Chicago's Northlight Theatre in 2001 and was then produced Off-Broadway in March 2002. The story explores a five-year relationship between Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress. The show uses a form of storytelling in which Cathy's story is told in reverse chronological order (beginning the show at the end of the marriage), and Jamie's is told in chronological order (starting just after the couple have first met). The characters do not directly interact except for a wedding song in the middle as their timelines intersect.

 

The Roles: Cathy: 20 to 25 year old female. Range: F3-D#4   Jamie: 24 to 30 year old male.  Range: A2-Bb4

Production and Rehearsal Dates:

The Last Five Years will open on Friday, September 16 and run through October 2, 2016. There will be nine (9) shows; that is three (3) weeks of performances. Rehearsals will begin mid-July based upon your schedules. Will work around vacations.
