The Last Five Years Reviews

Stage Scene LA- Not Recommended

"...If I didn’t love The Last Five Years so much, it wouldn’t mean so much for me to see it fizzle the way it does here. If you’ve seen the show before, wait for another production to see it again. And if you haven’t yet discovered its magic, this is not the time or place to do so."

Stage Raw- Recommended

"...Director Aaron Byrnes emphasizes the circular nature of the musical, but his vision is not entirely clear. The set is quite expansive, and Byrnes stages the action across the entirety of the stage, which generates a lot of movement and variety. Unfortunately, this tends to sap focus away from the story, and the pace of the show tends to lag."

Broadway World- Recommended

"...Under the direction of Aaron Byrnes, with music direction by Mike Walker and produced by Sharona Krinsky, the show stars Cat Rojo as the aspiring actress Cathy Hiatt and Sean Yves Lessard as the fast-rising novelist Jamie Wellerstein (understudies Corydon Melgoza and Sophia Konat rotate into the roles for select performances)."
