The Last Five Years
- NOW CLOSED
Ran Aug 4 – Aug 30, 2026 [Now Closed]
Jamie, a rising novelist, and Cathy, an aspiring actress, share a five-year love story told from opposite perspectives. As Jamie races toward the future and Cathy reaches into the past, their timelines collide in the middle, at the single moment they both cherish. Set against the energy of New York City, The Last Five Years is a deeply intimate musical that captures the dizzying joy of falling in love and the quiet ache of letting go.

Show Reviews
"The Last Five Years is
a tricky show to get right, but of [all the] versions I've seen...
this one reigns the strongest"
Aisling Murphy
“...when I saw Tess Benger's name in the program I knew I was in for a great performance…And holy crap does James have a set of pipes on him! Excellent production top-to-tail (or should I say forward and backward?)
