The Last Five Years (2009)
By Jason Robert Brown
Directed by Michael McKelvey
January 2009
Featuring David Gallagher and Annika Johansson
There are two sides to every story... Jamie and Cathy's five-year relationship is coming to an end, and through the funny, sweet, and heart-breaking songs, you hear both versions of what happened - from beginning to end, and from the end to the beginning.
