Its run at the Vaudeville Theatre will be its first West End run.

The Last Five Years; A Synopsis

The musical is an intimate tale of two New Yorkers who tell us the story of how they fell in and out of love over the course of five years. Brown’s musical has an unconventional structure and has the characters sharing their recollection of love story from opposite ends of the tale. Cathy, a struggling actor, begins at the end of their turbulent relationship, whilst Jamie, a literary prodigy, begins at their illustrious first meeting. The characters only cross paths once, in the middle of their musical, at their wedding.
