The Broadway debut of Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years is just around the corner, and the final pieces are falling into place. Performances begin March 18, 2025, at the Hudson Theatre ahead of an April 6 opening night. As previously announced, Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren are starring.
Director Whitney White will be leading a newly announced creative team, with choreographers Jeff Kuperman and Rick Kuperman (The Outsiders), scenic designer David Zinn (Stereophonic), costume designer Dede Ayite (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding), lighting designer Stacey Derosier (The Counter), sound designer Cody Spencer (The Outsiders), wig and hair designer Mia Neal (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom). Cody Renard Richard will serve as production stage manager, and Baseline Theatrical’s Andy Jones and James Hickey will handle general management.
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. The upcoming Main Stem run will be the work's first, following an Off-Broadway revival in 2013 and a film adaptation in 2014.
Seaview, ATG Productions, and The Season are producing.
