The Last 5 Years

Fountain of Time Prods.—Asper Centre (U of W)

This tremendously talented crew presents a raw look at what happens when couples aren’t on the same page with each other. It examines how we drift apart in relationships and how sometimes things just can’t be fixed.

Alternating between timelines, Cathy searches her memories of the past 5 years to find where things went wrong. Jamie, on the other hand, charges forward towards his very unhappy fate.

Both actors have phenomenal voices, and gave truly stunning vocal performances. I could feel Cathy’s emotions and really rooted for her in the end. On the other hand, I had a tough time feeling much emotion for Jamie

This play did feel a little long. It’s a very safe musical that you can certainly bring mom too. A few f-bombs here and there but definitely worth seeing if you are a fan of musicals.
