Riassunto

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show's unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters meet only once, at their wedding in the middle of the show. Jason Robert Brown won Drama Desk Awards for the music and the lyrics after the Off-Broadway premiere in 2002 starring Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott. The show has since been produced at almost every major regional theater in the U.S., and has been seen in Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Germany, Italy, Canada, Spain, and the UK.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull'autore

Jason Robert Brown (Los Angeles, CA) is a three-time Tony Award-winning composer, lyricist, and playwright renowned for his sophisticated and rhythmically dynamic scores. He emerged as a leading voice in contemporary musical theatre with his off-Broadway debut, Songs for a New World (1995), followed by the seminal Parade (1998), which earned him his first Tony for Best Original Score. His body of work-which includes the generation-defining The Last Five Years (2002), the coming-of-age musical 13 (2007), and The Bridges of Madison County (2014)-is celebrated for its seamless fusion of pop-rock energy with profound theatrical storytelling. A frequent performer and conductor of his own music, Brown has been hailed by the Philadelphia Inquirer as "one of Broadway's smartest and most sophisticated songwriters since Stephen Sondheim".
