What is The Last Five Years about?

Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown's one-act two-person musical is the story of a couple as they fall in and then out of love, inspired by Brown's own failed first marriage. Rising star novelist Jamie Wellerstein meets struggling actress Cathy in New York City and they fall in love at once. But life gets in the way - the successes and failures in their respective careers, infidelity, insecurities - and they split up. The story of their relationship is revealed to us anachronistically, with Cathy's story told backwards and Jamie's forwards.

The Last Five Years first premiered in Chicago in 2001 before opening off-Broadway the following year, and quickly won hearts all around the world with its powerful story of love, heartbreak, and the passage of time. It inspired a film adaptation in 2011 starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan and premiered in London in 2016 with Jonathan Bailey and Samantha Barks. Now, West End audiences can re-experience the magic of this powerful musical for a limited time only in March 2026, with musical icons Rachel Zegler and Ben Platt starring as Cathy and Jamie for a series of concert performances celebrating the musical's 25th anniversary, composed by Brown himself.

Don't miss this special, once-in-a-life-time concert experience featuring two of the most dynamic and celebrated performers of their generation.
