Ben Platt and Rachel Zegler to star in THE LAST FIVE YEARS

The 25th anniversary celebration of the iconic musical, which will be directed and conducted live by Jason Robert Brown, will play at the London Palladium next March.

The Last Five Years is a two-person musical that shares the story of a relationship between Cathy, an aspiring actress, and Jamie, a successful novelist. It's a masterpiece of love, heartbreak, and the passage of time that originally premiered in Chicago in 2001. The show played Off-Broadway in 2002 and made its London premiere in 2016, with Jonathan Bailey and Samantha Barks starring.

This production of The Last Five Years will see Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen) and Golden Globe and NBR winner Rachel Zegler (Evita) come together in this special concert staging.

Jamie Lambert, who will produce the event 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."

The Last Five Years will play at the London Palladium from 24-29 March 2026.
