To help celebrate the start of Short North Stage's fifth year, we present the contemporary hit musical The Last Five Years. A cult favorite, especially among young audiences, this musical by Robert Jason Brown tells the story of a twenty-something novelist Jamie Wellerstein and Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress. The musical explores their five-year relationship through a novel device: Cathy's story is told in the reverse chronological order-beginning at the end of their marriage-while Jamie's begins just after they've met. The characters never directly interact except for a wedding song in the middle, when their timelines intersect.
Directed by Nick Lingnofski, the cast includes Jarrad Biron Green (Jamie Wellerstein) and Melissa Hall (Catherine Hiatt). The show includes animated projections by Sophia Gersing.
Performances run through Sunday, May 22nd at Short North Stage, 1187 N. High St., Columbus, Ohio 43201. For tickets/more info visit: http://www.shortnorthstage.org/calendar/v/535
