The reviews are in for a reconfigured production of The Last Five Years at Southwark Playhouse in London. The Jason Robert Brown musical had opened in March prior to the shutdown but reopened October 5 with socially distant measures in place.
Starring Molly Lynch as Cathy and Oli Higginson as Jamie, the production is directed by Jonathan O’Boyle with choreography by Sam Spencer-Lane.
The musical was filmed by stream.theatre and will be presented to global audiences November 26–29.
