Tony winner Jason Michael Webb directed the Drama League-nominated production of the Jason Robert Brown musical.
Out of the Box Theatrics and Holmdel Theatre Company’s production of Jason Robert Brown‘s The Last Five Years, which premiered in March 2021, enjoys an encore streaming March 28-April 10.
Featuring a book, music, and lyrics by three-time Tony winner Brown (Parade, The Bridges of Madison County), the two-hander stars Nasia Thomas (Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations) and Nicholas Edwards (Frozen).
The production was nominated for a 2021 Drama League Award for Outstanding Digital Theater.
The musical, about two New Yorkers who fall in and out of love over the course of five years, features Cathy telling her story backwards, while Jamie tells his story chronologically; the two characters only interact once—at their wedding—in the middle of the show.
