“That's the one the one place that they meet, and then they go about their ways. The characters only actually meet on stage together once in the show and everything else is isolated.” The couple’s wedding takes place right in the middle of the show. So she starts at the end and works her way back. And then we see Cathy's story of the same relationship-told in reverse. We see Jamie's story like you would expect in any show, where it starts at the beginning, where they first meet, their first date, and goes all the way through the relationship.
So I think audiences, whether you're a theater person or not, you’ll really fall in love with this show.”Īs Inmon explained the plot, “We're looking at a relationship between two people, Cathy and Jamie, and we see this told from two different perspectives. The music of the show is really the heart of it. And I think it's just a beautiful piece of theatre. The show was created by Tony-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, and Josh Inmon said he feels a show like this is “perfect for these times and it's relevant. It’s a different title than you're used to seeing” on the Landers Theatre stage, in that it’s “definitely an intimate show.” There are only two actors in the show: Aryn Bohannon, who plays Cathy, and Dillon Savage in the role of Jamie. We're really excited about ‘The Last Five Years’. Inmon admitted, “Certainly a year ago, this is not how we thought we'd be opening this season. It opened last night, and the opening-night audience received it very well. Josh Inmon, director of the opening show, the musical “The Last Five Years,” joined us on “Arts News.” Springfield Little Theatre has officially opened its 86 th season-under less than ideal circumstances, perhaps, but like all of us they’re making the best of the situation.
