Murphys, CA…Experience the Bittersweet Journey of Love and Heartbreak Through the Eyes of “The Last Five Years” – A Captivating Musical by Jason Robert Brown, Presented by Murphys Creek Theatre.  Murphys Creek Theatre is proud to present “The Last Five Years” by Jason Robert Brown, running from August 25 to September 16, 2023. With music and lyrics by Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown, this musical has captivated audiences and critics worldwide, earning a Drama Desk Award (music and lyrics) and a film adaptation starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.

“The Last Five Years” is an intimate window into a couple’s brief and bittersweet marriage. Cathy, a struggling actress, and Jamie, a budding novelist on the brink of wild success, are 30-somethings in New York who meet, fall in love, marry, and divorce over the span of five years. Cathy tells the story from the end of their marriage; Jamie begins from when they first meet. As the musical unfolds, Cathy moves backward in time to the beginning of the relationship as Jamie moves toward the end; they meet only once, in the middle, at their wedding. Since its Off-Broadway premiere in 2002, Brown’s funny, poignant, and devastatingly honest two-person production has enraptured audiences worldwide with its spellbinding and emotional score and libretto.
