Last Tapes Theatre Company are proud to bring Jason Robert Brown’s contemporary song cycle The Last Five Years to Auckland's Herald Theatre this March.
This thought provoking show tells the story of Jamie, a promising young writer in New York, and Cathy, an actress waiting for her big break. The Last Five Years sees them share the story of their relationship - Jamie starting from the moment they first meet, and Cathy beginning her story at the end of their five years together. Their storytelling is powerfully honest, funny, and at times heartbreaking.
The Last Five Years is a landmark of contemporary, intimate musical theatre - an immediately engaging and sophisticated combination of popular pastiche and traditional art-song.
Starring Tyran Parke in the role of Jamie Wellerstein and introducing Cherie Moore in the role of Cathy Hyatt.
