Gjere Last Five Years is a love story. This one captures insightful and poignant moments in a relationship through a series of wonderful songs by composer MUSICAL NUMBERS Jason Robert Brown.

Cathy & Jamie succeed, there are many rewards along the way. If we don’t, we will survive, perhaps finding ourselves a little bit wiser than we once were. We have hope that the future may lead to something better. Orchestra I first heard this show’s beautiful score back in 2002 when I learned that a former Nebraska Theatre Caravan actor and friend played Jamie in the Piano/Conductor...... Jim Boggess original production. Though I never got to see him in the show, it was a thrill Keyboards...... Jennifer Novak Haar to hear the amazing on his first original cast recording, Guitar......

Mark Haar upended by the amazing talents of Bailey Carlson and Tom Gjere, who play Cathy and Jamie in this production. I’ve spent some truly delicious hours in rehearsal with these two wonderful people, simply marveling at their ability CAST BIO to use every bit of themselves in order to interpret and present Brown’s highly literate lyrics.
