AUDITIONS FOR :

THE LAST FIVE YEARS

Written and Composed by Jason Robert Brown

To be performed at Gasworks Arts Park, Albert Park
July 2008

A contemporary song-cycle musical that ingeniously chronicles the five year life of a marriage. Written by Tony Award Winning Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Songs For A New World), The Last Five Years is an intensely personal look at the relationship between a writer and an actress told from both points of view.

The show is presented in “forward time” as we follow the story of their relationship from Jamie’s perspective, starting with their first meeting. At the same time, Cathy relates the story in “reverse” - starting with their break-up and moving backwards in time until their first meeting. Made up mostly of solo turns, with beautiful music and alternately humorous and heartfelt lyrics. The Last Five Years manages to reinvent the familiar relationship formula and offers up one of the brightest, freshest scores of the new century.

" A potent reminder of what musicals can be like when they make up their minds to really sing."

“Unpredictably heartfelt insights, energized by a seductive, rhythmic drive”

The show requires ONLY 2 performers. We seek extraordinary singer/actors (1 Male and 1 Female) to play the roles of Jamie and Cathy.
