THE LAST FIVE YEARS

Jason Robert Brown, the creator of Parade and Songs for a New World, has written a distinctive new Off-Broadway musical. The Last Five Years tells the story of a failed marriage of 20-somethings: he a successful novelist, she a struggling actress. Her story is told in reverse, his conventionally moving forward. They meet in the middle at the point of their wedding. Brown's strong writing has found a solid following among musical theatre fans. Our songbook features piano/vocal arrangements of 12 songs: Goodbye Until Tomorrow - I Can Do Better Than That - If I Didn't Believe in You - Moving Too Fast - The Next Ten Minutes - Nobody Needs to Know - A Part of That - The Schmuel Song - Shiksa Goddess - Still Hurting - A Summer in Ohio - When You Come Home to Me.

Short, bittersweet and nearly perfect, Brown has come up with a winning combination of music and book.
