The Last Five Years

The Eagle Theatre
208 Vine St Hammonton

This stirring stage musical was hailed as one of the 10 best shows of 2001 by Time magazine and later became a feature film starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan. Told through inventive and heartrending songs, The Last Five Years is a two-person show that navigates the ins and outs -- and beginning and ending -- of a marriage. Written by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown (Parade), this Drama Desk Award winner is the story of a couple's five years together, from the thrilling pangs of new love to their painful final separation. There is, however, a twist: The man retells the relationship from beginning to end, while the woman relates their story in reverse. The two characters' emotional timelines converge only once -- at their wedding in the middle of the show. Don't miss the Eagle's fresh take on this contemporary classic.
