THE LAST FIVE YEARS
BOOK, MUSIC + LYRICS BY JASON ROBERT BROWN
AUGUST 14 - SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 | REGIONAL PREMIERE
DRAMA DESK RECIPIENT | TONY AWARD-WINNING WRITER
We round out the Summer with a contemporary classic, one of the most beloved musicals about a tumultuous heartbreak to ever have been written. Fresh off its first-ever Broadway Run, starring Adrienne Warren and Nick Jonas, Circle Theatre will be the first to bring The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown back to the area!
The Last Five Years captivates its audiences with its innovative storytelling and beloved score. A powerful piece that speaks to the universal experience of love and loss, this critically acclaimed musical delves into the five-year romance between Cathy and Jamie, two aspiring artists, through a unique narrative structure: Cathy’s story unfolds from the end of their relationship moving backward, while Jamie’s perspective moves forward from the start.
Memorable melodies soar throughout the piece, which leave audiences considering all that can go wrong when two people collide - and all that could have gone right, had they ever truly seen one another.
