- Featuring Grammy nominee Nick Jonas as Jamie, an optimistic and romantic novelist, and Tony Award winner Adrienne Warren as Cathy, an upcoming actress on the heels of a painful breakup, this production brings together exceptional talent for an unforgettable performance.
- With a strictly limited 14-week run at the historic Hudson Theatre, this is a rare opportunity to witness a modern classic in an iconic setting.
The Last Five Years is a semi-autobiographical musical by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown. Originally premiering off-Broadway in 2002, it garnered a cult following for its emotional depth and innovative storytelling. Its 2025 Broadway debut is directed by Whitney White, known for her fresh and dynamic approach to contemporary theater, and stars Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren as the leading duo trying to find love amid heartbreak and big dreams.
Storyline
The Last Five Years chronicles the five-year relationship between Jamie and Cathy folded into a unique narrative structure: Jamie's story unfolds chronologically from the beginning to the end of their relationship, while Cathy's perspective starts at the end and moves backward to the beginning. This dual storytelling approach provides an intimate and poignant exploration of love, ambition, and the challenges that come with intertwining lives.
