The Last Five Years

Jason Robert Brown, the creator of Parade and Songs for a New World, has written a distinctive new Off-Broadway musical. The Last Five Years tells the story of a failed marriage of 20-somethings: he a successful novelist, she a struggling actress. Her story is told in reverse, his conventionally moving forward. They meet in the middle at the point of their wedding. Brown’s strong writing has found a solid following among musical theatre fans. Our songbook features piano/vocal arrangements of 12 songs: Goodbye Until Tomorrow · I Can Do Better Than That · If I Didn’t Believe in You · Moving Too Fast · The Next Ten Minutes · Nobody Needs to Know · A Part of That · The Schmuel Song · Shiksa Goddess · Still Hurting · A Summer in Ohio · When You Come Home to Me. Short, bittersweet and nearly perfect, Brown has come up with a winning combination of music and book. – Variety
