  3. The Last Five Years


An up-and-coming novelist and a struggling actress recall the highs and lows of their relationship through a series of songs, starting from opposite points in time and meeting in the middle. The Last Five Years is an intimate, funny, and devastatingly honest examination of life and love.

Jason Robert Brown’s Drama Desk Award winning musical premiered Off-Broadway in 2001 and has since been adapted into a film featuring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan. It has been performed to rave reviews all over the world and is now making its professional Morgantown premiere starring Nora Perone and Daniel A. Stevens, with direction by Jen Coles and musical direction by R.J. Nestor.

BWW Guest Review: THE LAST FIVE YEARS at WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC THEATRE
BWW Guest Review: THE LAST FIVE YEARS at WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC THEATRE
March 26, 2019

It all starts with a waltz that goes terribly wrong. A man and woman enter, underscored by soft piano, and turn to face each other. They join together under the pool of a spotlight on an otherwise blank stage, and they dance together harmoniously-for a while. Suddenly, he misses a cue, she shoots a look, and their movements grow increasingly terse until he drops her arms and marches away, leaving her alone to sing the opening number.
