The Last Five Years

Cathy is a “Shiksa Goddess” attempting to make it on Broadway when she meets Jamie, a hotshot Jewish writer. Instantly sparks fly, as they often do in musicals. The difference with the love/breakup story in Jason Robert Brown’s off-Broadway hit The Last Five Years is its narrative structure. Cathy’s account starts at the end of their marriage, moving backward throughout the show, while Jamie’s moves chronologically. Experience this musical in the flesh at Coeur d’Alene’s Modern Theater before the movie version, with Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect) and Jeremy Jordan (Smash) hits the big screen in February.
