The Last Five Years

Pittsburgh audiences will be romanced this year with a two-show season from Front Porch Theatricals; the first time the company is planning more than one show a year. After an acclaimed and stunning production of Parade last August, Front Porch is starting the season with seven performances May 22-31 of the Jason Robert Brown (Drama Desk Winner) musical, The Last Five Years. The show was named one of Time Magazine's 10 best shows of 2001. A testament to the show's longevity and spurred by the show's immense popularity, The Last Five Years enjoyed an Off-Broadway revival at Second Stage in 2013. A film adaptation was released on February 13th in time for Valentine’s Day, starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.

The Last Five Years is an emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show – thus the twist in the romance!
