Brown, Jason Robert - The Last Five Years

Jason Robert Brown, the creator of Parade and Songs for a New World, has written a distinctive new Off-Broadway musical. The Last Five Years tells the story of a failed marriage of 20-somethings: he a successful novelist, she astruggling actress. Her story is told in reverse, his conventionally moving forward. They meet in the middle at the point of their wedding. Brown's strong writing has found a solid following among musical theatre fans. Oursongbook features piano/vocal arrangements of 12 songs: Goodbye Until Tomorrow · I Can Do Better Than That · If I Didn't Believe in You · Moving Too Fast · The Next Ten Minutes · Nobody Needs to Know · A Part of That · The SchmuelSong · Shiksa Goddess · Still Hurting · A Summer in Ohio · When You Come Home to Me. Short, bittersweet and nearly perfect, Brown has come up with a winning combination of music and book. - Variety
