"Ben Platt and Rachel Zegler are teaming up for a strictly limited concert staging of , landing at The Last Five Years Radio City Music Hall on April 6 and 7 as part of the show's 25th anniversary celebrations. The performances follow a one-night stop at the Hollywood Bowl on April 3 and a London run at the London Palladium from March 24-29. On both sides of the Atlantic, the concerts will be directed and conducted by the musical's creator, Jason Robert Brown."
"If you somehow missed it over the past two decades (or have simply been emotionally recovering), The Last Five Years charts the rise and fall of a five-year relationship between novelist Jamie Wellerstein and actress Cathy Hiatt, told in a famously brain-bending structure where Jamie moves forward in time as Cathy moves backward. First staged in 2001 before running off-Broadway the following year, the show has become a rite of passage for musical-theater obsessives, spawning revivals, a 2014 film adaptation and last year's Broadway debut."
