THE LAST FIVE YEARS continues performances in Warsaw, Poland at the Teatr Muzyczny Roma. It has a book, music, and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown, and was produced Off-Broadway in 2002. In 2015 a film version of the musical was produced, with Anna Kendrick as Cathy and Jeremy Jordan as Jamie.
The show follows the five year relationship of novelist Jamie Wellerstein and struggling actress Cathy Hiatt. Cathy's story is told in reverse chronological order (beginning at the end of their marriage), while Jamie's is told in chronological order (beginning just after the two first meet). The two characters do not interact directly, except in the middle of the show with a wedding song, where their timelines meet.
The show is directed by Wojciech Kepczynski and translated by Michat Wojnarowski, with music management by Jakub Lubowicz, assistant direction and choreography by Agnieszka Branska, scenic design by Grzegorz Policinski, costumes and stylization by Dorota Sabak, lighting design by Jacqueline Sobiszewski, projections by Adam Keller, and prepared vocals by Lena Zuchniak and Jacek Kotlarski.
The cast consists of Veronica Bochat and Natalia Krakowiak as Cathy, Lukasz Zagrobleny and Rafal Drozd as Jamie, Justyna Cichomska and Justyna Ostach as dancers.
