Ben Platt and Rachel Zegler will lead a brand-new concert staging of The Last Five Years at the London Palladium.

The production will run from 24 – 29 March 2026, marking the musical’s 25th anniversary.

Pre-sale sign-up opens Monday 27 October, with tickets going on sale from 30 October and general sale 31 October. Tickets and pre-sale sign up are available on the LW Theatres website here.

The special event will be directed and conducted live by the show’s original composer, Jason Robert Brown, in a rare West End appearance.

The Last Five Years follows a relationship from beginning to end – and end to beginning – told through two timelines.

Platt, a Tony, Grammy and Emmy winner, and Zegler, a Golden Globe winner, bring serious star power to the stage in this strictly limited run.

The event is being presented by Lambert Jackson and LW Tickets, with musical direction by Leo Munby.

Jamie Lambert said, “This beautiful show which has impacted so many people around the world deserves this stellar cast for its 25th anniversary. Getting to work with Jason Robert Brown again, one of the greatest composers of our time, is a total privilege and his faith in Lambert Jackson is something we are forever grateful for.

“Working with LW tickets and deepening our relationship with the LW team by taking a week at The London Palladium, where we’ve produced over 30 shows, is a great step forward for all involved and we’re excited to see where it leads.”
