Bailey Carlson Like most enduring works in the theatre, The Jamie .....................................................Thomas A.C. 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. Though the story is simple, Brown’s concept requires that these songs not be presented in a familiar, chronological way. Jamie’s Still Hurting ............................................................Cathy songs go forward in time, from the beginning to Shiksa Goddess ........................................................ Jamie the end of their five years together, while Cathy’s See I’m Smiling .........................................................Cathy songs start with their breakup and go backward.

I Can Do Better Than That ..............................................Cathy Nobody Needs to Know ............................................... Jamie We take a risk every time we choose to love another person, don’t we? If we Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You ..........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.

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.
