The Last Five Years Producer's Picks

Hudson Theatre
141 West 44th Street
New York, NY 10036

The first-ever Broadway production of Jason Robert Brown (Parade)’s The Last Five Years takes audiences on an emotional journey through love and heartbreak. Starring Grammy and Golden Globe nominee Nick Jonas (The Jonas Brothers) and Tony Award winner Adrienne Warren (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical), this acclaimed production offers a fresh take on the beloved musical.

Directed by Tony nominee Whitney White (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding), The Last Five Years traces the rise and fall of the relationship between Jamie, a charismatic young novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress. Told through two intertwining points of view, Jamie’s story moves forward in time, while Cathy’s unfolds in reverse. Experience the messy, euphoric, sexy, savage, fleeting rush of falling in and out of love in New York City.
