Modest production, good performances, great concept for a musical. Ultimately not 100% satisfying but worth seeing if you're interested in new musical theatre.Written on Jul 10 2006

Always loved the score. It just didn't work as a play.Written on Jul 15 2006
It's a song cycle, and the actors were good...not amazing.

Description
<p>I Do! I Do! and The Last Five Years are being produced in conjunction with each other, but they are performed and ticketed separately.</p> <p>Music, Book and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown</p> <p>Her story starts at the end of their relationship while his begins on the day they meet. Funny and uplifting, the show captures some of the most heartbreaking and universally felt moments of modern romance.</p> <p>Written by Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Songs for A New World), The Last Five Years is an intensely personal look at the relationship between a writer and an actress told from both points of view. The show is presented in "forward time" as we follow the story of their relationship from Jamie's perspective, as Cathy relates the story in "reverse" - starting with their breakup and moving backwards in time until their first meeting at the end of the show. With beautiful music and alternately humorous and heartfelt lyrics, it is only in the middle of the show that Jamie and Cathy come together as Jamie proposes and the two are wed. Funny and uplifting, the show captures some of the most heartbreaking and universally felt moments of modern romance.</p>
