The Last Five Years by Brown, J. R., tors. 26 maj 2022, Fra (2021/2022), Instrueret af Jessica Schauer, Dirigent Johanna Motter, Staatstheater, Braunschweig, Germany

Writer Jamie and musical actress Cathy have spent the last five years together. They take turns reporting on the ups and downs of their time together - how they fell in love, got married and how the relationship finally ended painfully. Jamie tells the story chronologically from beginning to end, while Cathy tells the last five years backwards. With »The Last Five Years«, Jason Robert Brown has created a charming and musically versatile chamber musical in which joy and sorrow literally lie side by side: By shifting the times told, upbeat numbers like »Moving Too Fast« alternate with ballads like »Still Hurting« off. Nevertheless, the two protagonists are also closely linked in the score, since they often share the musical material, even if it is presented in a completely different mood. Sophia Gorgi and Markus Schneider, who enthralled audiences in the musical »Chicago« in the last season, are guests as Cathy and Jamie.
