The Last Five Years, David Henry Hwang Theatre - LA (2009)

Cast: Jennifer Paz (Cathy) & Michael K. Lee (Jamie)

The Last Five Years is one of my favorite shows of all time and I think it always will be. This production was the 4th time I saw the show and I know I'll see it again.

The cast, sets, and props were very well done. The Last Five Years is a very interesting show where Cathy starts the story (about her relationship with Jamie) at the end and Jamie starts it when he's just met Cathy. They meet and actually interact with each other at the same time and space only for their wedding in the middle of the show. The idea is very unique for a musical and works amazingly well. This production did a very good job of being sure the gift Jamie gives Cathy is worn at the appropriate times and not worn before he gave it to her when she gets there moving backwards, etc. The costumes and sets are also very good. I was amazed at how much work they did on two completely different sets for these shows when they're showing at the same time.

I highly recommend seeing this production of The Last Five Years. The show by Jason Robert Brown is amazing and the David Henry Hwang Theatre did a great job with the production.
