The Last Five Years

Jason Robert Brown’s modern musical masterpiece The Last Five Years comes to life in a landmark new revival, marking Reading Rep’s first ever musical production.

Starring Martha Kirby (Evita, Bat Out of Hell, Grease) as Cathy and Guy Woolf (The Cher Show, As You Like It, Becoming Electra) as Jamie, this intimate two-hander charts the exhilarating highs and devastating lows of a five-year relationship.

Told in reverse and forward timelines that meet only once – on their wedding day – the show’s unique structure and soaring score have captivated audiences around the world.

Directed by Hal Chambers, with music and lyrics by Tony Award–winning composer Jason Robert Brown, this is an unmissable chance to experience a moving, intricate, and unforgettable love story in three of the UK’s most intimate theatre spaces.
