STAGE SCENE LA REVIEW

“WoW!”
“Joy and sadness side-by-side and an ending that packs a bona fide emotional wallop.”
“…some of the most gorgeous music Jason Robert Brown has ever written.”

“From the moment Hoffmann launches into ‘Shiksa Goddess’ it’s clear that the lanky, charismatic leading man will be giving Jamie the goofy humor that’s part of his charm …”

“With a winsome beauty and radiance … Norgaard tears into ‘Still Hurting’ with a palpable ache in her voice, takes ‘See I’m Smiling’ from joy and wonder to frustration and rage …”



“Take a breath. Take a step. Take a chance. Take your time.” The Last Five Years explores the relationship of a young couple, Cathy Hiatt an aspiring actress and Jamie Wellerstein a writer on the rise. Each character recounts their relationship. Cathy tells her story from the end of the relationship to the beginning and Jaime starts his story from the beginning to the end. Time is fleeting as the audience tries to understand where things went wrong in this once seemingly perfect relationship. The story explores themes of infidelity, jealousy, sacrifice, miscommunication, and time.
