⭐ THE LAST FIVE YEARS AT SOUTHWARK PLAYHOUSE EXTENSION ANNOUNCED – JOSH BARNETT & LYDIA WHITE TO JOIN CAST ⭐

New cast members have been announced for the return of The Last Five Years at the Southwark Playhouse.

ArtsEd graduate Josh Barnett and Lydia White (CinderELLA) will be joining the cast, understudying the roles of Jamie and Cathy respectively.

Molly Lynch and Oli Higginson were previously announced to be returning as Cathy and Jamie, after the original run was cut short earlier this year.

The production has also announced to be extending another 2 weeks.

The Last Five Years will now run at the Southwark Playhouse from 1st October – 14th November 2020.

Jason Robert Brown’s cult classic musical was first seen in 2001 and ran off-Broadway in 2002. It was turned into a film in 2014 starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.

It follows a five-year relationship between two lovers – Jamie and Cathy – but is told in reverse chronological order for one of the pair.

The creative team will include choreographer Sam Spencer-Lane, set and costume designer Lee Newby, lighting designer Jamie Platt and sound designer Adam Fisher. Musical direction and orchestration are by George Dyer and be directed by Jonathan O’Boyle (The View UpStairs).
