The Last Five Years has been a beloved piece of musical theatre ever since it premiered at the Northlight Theatre in Skokie, Illinois, in 2001. The original Off-Broadway production, starring Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott, quickly gained a cult following.
The show’s unique structure—telling the story of Cathy and Jamie’s relationship from opposite timelines—has captivated audiences for over two decades.
After an Off-Broadway revival in 2013 and a 2014 film adaptation starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan, the time has finally come for Broadway to embrace this fan-favourite.
