“The Last Five Years” with the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra
Apr 16, 2021 @ 7:30 pm - Apr 18, 2021 @ 8:00 pm
$20Join Raleigh Little Theatre and the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra for an outdoor concert-style performance of Jason Robert Brown’s Drama Desk award-winner The Last Five Years, presented in RLT’s Louise “Scottie” Stephenson Amphitheatre.
The Last Five Years is an intimate window into a couple’s doomed marriage. Cathy, a struggling actress, and Jamie, a budding novelist on the brink of wild success, are 20-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.
The show is recommended for ages 13+ due to adult language.
