⭐ THE LAST FIVE YEARS REVIVAL – WEST END TRANSFER ANNOUNCED ⭐
The recent critically acclaimed Southwark Playhouse revival of The Last Five Years will transfer to the West End, it has been announced.
Jason Robert Brown’s award-winning musical, The Last Five Years, returns to London’s West End for the first time in over ten years, after two sensational sell-out seasons at Southwark Playhouse, and an internationally streamed performance watched by audiences worldwide.
This emotionally powerful and poignant story of two New Yorkers who fall in and out of love over the course of five years, is underscored by a beautifully bittersweet score, featuring ‘I’m Still Hurting’, ‘Goodbye Until Tomorrow’ and ‘I Can Do Better Than That’.
Full of romance, wit and vivid storytelling, Jamie shares his story from the spark of their relationship’s giddy beginning, whilst Cathy’s side is told in reverse, from the end of their turbulent partnership. The two characters cross paths just once, as their stories collide during the show’s climactic middle.
The Last Five Years will once again star Oli Higginson and Molly Lynch.
This bold new production sees the actor-musicians playing the piano, ukulele and guitar live throughout the show, adding a new narrative dimension to the story and a unique magic to Brown’s exquisite songs.
The creative team, led by director Jonathan O’Boyle, includes choreographer Sam Spencer-Lane, set and costume designer Lee Newby, lighting designer Jamie Platt and sound designer Adam Fisher. Musical director is Leo Munby. Casting is by Jane Deitch.
Produced by Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment, Edward Prophet and People Entertainment Group, with Dan Looney, Adam Paulden and Jason Haigh-Ellery for DLAP GROUP. General manager and assistant producer is Chris Matanlé for Aria Entertainment.
The Last Five Years will play at the Vaudeville Theatre for a strictly limited 4-week season, running from 17th September – 13th October 2021.
