The Last Five Years description
The London Palladium hosts The Last Five Years, starring Rachel Zegler and Ben Platt.
The Last Five Years concert at the London Palladium celebrates the musical's 25th birthday, conducted and directed by the show's composer Jason Robert Brown (Parade, The Bridges of Madison County).
This fresh new production is being billed as raw, intimate, and electrifying. The beloved plot stays the same. A five-year relationship unfolds as Jamie Wellerstein, a novelist on the road to success, and struggling actor Cathy Hiatt tell their stories. Jamie's story is told in chronological order, beginning just after they met. Cathy's story goes in reverse order, starting with the end of their marriage. The only time they engage with each other is for the wedding song, when their timelines collide.
Debuting in Illinois in 2001, it opened Off-Broadway in 2002, winning the year's Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music and Lyrics, plus Drama Desk nominations for Outstanding Musical, Outstanding Actor, Outstanding Actress, Outstanding Orchestrations, and Outstanding Set Design. Plus, the Lucille Lortel Award nomination for Outstanding Musical and Outstanding Actor, and the Outer Critics Circle Award nomination for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical. An Off-Broadway revival in 2013 was followed by several new productions in the USA and UK, and the 2014 movie adaptation sealed the story's reputation as a cult classic.
This beautiful show has made countless thousands of people across the world happy. A stellar cast for its 25th anniversary awaits you, thanks to Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award-winner Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen, Pitch Perfect, Parade) and Golden Globe and NBR winner Rachel Zegler (Evita at the London Palladium, The Hunger Games, Snow White, West Side Story).
Treat yourself to The Last Five Years tickets for a gorgeous West End musical concert to remember.
