Written and directed by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert
Brown, The Last Five Years is a two-handed musical following the
emotional course of young love. Jamie and Cathy (played by Samantha Barks (Les Misérables)
and Jonathan Bailey (Broadchurch) are two twenty-something
New Yorkers.
Cathy is struggling to find work and Jamie is an aspiring
author who is suddenly offered an incredible book deal. As their paths
begin to diverge the young lovers’ relationship also begins to shift and
change.
It runs at The Other Palace (formerly St James Studio from 28th October to Saturday 3rd December)
The Last Five Years introduces a distinct, new
musical structure that sees Jamie move forwards through the relationship and
Cathy move backwards, with both characters meeting briefly on stage as
their stories intertwine.
