For anyone who’s ever fallen in love, fallen apart, or found themselves somewhere in between. Two people. One love story. Jamie’s a writer catching his big break.

Set to Jason Robert Brown’s breathtakingly honest score, The Last Five Years is a rollercoaster of romance, ambition, and what happens when two people fall in and out of sync.
