The Last Five Years

The Last Five Years
The Last Five Years is an intimate musical by Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Songs for a New World) that chronicles the five-year relationship between two New Yorkers from their first meeting to their last goodbye. The Last Five Years is a powerful and personal look at marriage told from both points of view – Jamie’s story begins at the first meeting and follows through to the couple’s ultimate breakup, while Cathy relates the story in reverse, from falling out of love back to the first spark of romance.

Harvey

Harvey
One of the most celebrated comedies of all time written by Denver native Mary Chase, this charming story is about being “different” in a small town. Elwood P. Dowd is a happy man who is a tippler and whose best friend is Harvey, a 6 foot white rabbit. When he begins to introduce Harvey at social functions to his family’s friends, his sister, Veta, decides it is time to commit him before he embarrasses them any further. The mayhem begins as Veta is mistakenly assumed to be the insane one and committed rather than Elwood. In the ensuing confusion, Veta, the doctors, nurses and town folk all end up trying to figure out who is really crazy.

This is A Chorus Line, the musical for everyone who’s ever had a dream and put it all on the line. Winner of nine Tony Awards including “Best Musical” and the Pulitzer Prize for drama, this singular sensation is the longest-running American Broadway musical ever.
