West End stars Julie Atherton and Paul Spicer share the stage at the prestigious Theatre Royal Haymarket for three nights only on on Sundays 12, 19 and 26 October 2008 in an unprecedented gala staging of Jason Robert Brown’s The Last 5 Years.
Celebrating the fifth anniversary of the West End’s Notes from New York series, this much anticipated theatrical event brings the concept full circle to the work of one of the composers with whom it all began.
Creative tensions combine with complexities of the heart in this emotionally wrought and unequivocally moving song cycle. Newly published novelist Jamie and aspiring actress Cathy tell the tale of their raw and impassioned relationship in opposite directions and from destructively differing standpoints.
Unique in structure yet familiar in its universally resounding themes, this celebrated two-hander reminds us it's possible to feel claustrophobically close to and yet worlds apart from the one you hold closest to your heart.
