Tony winner Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen) and Golden Globe winner Rachel Zegler (Evita, The Hunger Games) will co-star in a limited engagement of Jason Robert Brown's two-person musical The Last Five Years next year in London.

Tony winner Brown will direct this new concert staging, which marks the 25th anniversary of the musical. Performances are scheduled for March 24-29, 2026, at the London Palladium. Brown will also conduct.

The performances will also have musical direction by Leo Munby. Emma Butler is the associate director.

The Last Five Years tracks a five-year relationship between Cathy and Jamie from beginning to end via intertwining solo songs, with Jamie's story unfolding chronologically and Cathy's reverse chronologically. The musical, which premiered at Skokie, Illinoise's Northlight Theatre before a 2002 Off-Broadway run at Minetta Lane Theatre starring Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott, has become a particular favorite among theatre fans. There was an Off-Broadway revival in 2013 and a film adaptation in 2014. The 2025 production, starring Adrienne Warren and Nick Jonas, was the work's Broadway debut.

Platt won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance as Evan in Dear Evan Hansen, as well as the Drama League Award for Distinguished Performance (youngest recipient in history). He later reprised his role in the Universal Pictures film adaptation alongside Julianne Moore and Amy Adams. He received a second Tony nomination for his work as Leo Frank in the Michael Arden-directed revival of Parade. Platt has also released three albums: 2019's Sing to Me Instead, 2021's Reverie, and 2024's Honeymind. He also produced, co-wrote, and starred in the award-winning Sundance film Theater Camp, which was released by Searchlight Pictures.

Zegler, who recently drew raves for her performance in the title role of the London revival of Evita, made her Broadway debut in Sam Gold's Romeo + Juliet, starring opposite Kit Connor with music by Jack Antonoff. She can also be seen as Snow White in Disney's live-action remake of the classic story and recently starred in the A24 disaster comedy Y2K.

Producer Jamie Lambert said in a statement, "This beautiful show which has impacted so many people around the world deserves this stellar cast for its 25th anniversary. Getting to work with Jason Robert Brown again, one of the greatest composers of our time, is a total privilege and his faith in Lambert Jackson is something we are forever grateful for. Working with LW tickets and deepening our relationship with the LW team by taking a week at The London Palladium, where we've produced over 30 shows, is a great step forward for all involved and we're excited to see where it leads."
