An intimate account of love and loss, The Last Five Years follows a young couple through the significant milestones in their five-year relationship. The musical begins from the perspective of aspiring writer Jamie, on his first date with an up-and-coming actress named Cathy. From there it toggles back and forth between the two, and in time, as Cathy’s narrative kicks off at the end of their journey together. The two vantages meet just once, in the middle, at Jamie and Cathy’s wedding. Inspired by the life of playwright Jason Robert Brown, the show was an off-Broadway hit and was adapted for the screen in 2014. It runs through Aug. 11.
